Class Blog for Class 2

Welcome to Class 2 

Welcome to Class 2

A very warm welcome to Class 2. We have Years 3-6 in our class and everyone loves learning. 

Mr Whipps is our teacher, apart from Thursday when Mrs Morris is in class. Our fantastic Teaching Assistants are Miss Bawden and Mrs Dungey. 

Key Days

  • Monday is our PE time. Children can come into school in their kits. 
  • New spellings go out on Monday following a pre-learning assessment. They are tested again on Friday. 
  • We are moving to having a Wild Tribe day each half term rather than each Friday. This will allow us to have an in-depth day rather than smaller sessions. 
  • Please try and read with your children every day as it is critical to making sure that they make the progress that they are capable of. 
  • All children have a login for TT Rockstars and practise of these skills is key. 

As always, if you have any questions, please get in touch. 

 


River Exploration 

River Exploration

On Wednesday the 11th, as a culmination of our geography work on rivers and their uses, Class 2 walked to the moor to find the start of the river Seaton.

We were joined in this by Mr Abraham and his class from Trenode Academy. The children made friends and the children at Darite really enjoyed showing the visitors around the area. We looked at the mine workings and how humans have affected the physical geography of the area with spoil heaps, dams to create the donkey pool and the pits in the South Caradon mine.

The children had a great time and were superb ambassadors for the school and themselves. It is great to have chances to work closely with other schools in the trust and we have already put plans in action to visit Trenode and Blisland later in the year.

 


Autumn Curriculum 

Autumn 2 Learning

This term we are on the run up to Christmas! There are lots of exciting activities planned in Class 2. These are linked to Christmas and our wider curriculum enquiry which this term centres around geographical fieldwork. We are working with Trenode and Blisland schools for a fieldwork day in the moor in December. 

PE is still on a Monday and this half term the children are learning the skills for tag rugby. Children can come into school in their kits. Art and design this half term is all about 3D sculpture. The children will be creating new and exciting models of playground equipment. Thank you to everyone who has sent materials into school. We are still on the hunt for cereal boxes so if you have any of those, please send them in.

If you have any questions about the learning in Class 2, please get in touch for a chat. 

Mr Whipps and the Class 2 team. 

 


School Council 

Our School Councillors

After a hotly debated discussion and several rounds of voting, Class 2 have selected their school councillors. They are all looking forward to working with Mr Whipps and the councillors from Class 1 to make a real difference to the school.
