Squirrels

Welcome to our class page!

Squirrel Class is mix of year 1 and year 2 children taught by Mrs Adams with the support of Mrs Lingwood. 

The termly overview below gives you more information on what the children will be learning. As the year progresses termly updates will be added. The children’s learning will be shared on Class Dojo for you to enjoy and discuss with your children at home.

Recommended Reading

Please find the recommended reading lists from ‘The School Reading List’ here  (year 1) and  here (year 2). The website includes some brilliant books which are age appropriate with some for new authors and other stories you’ll remember from your own childhood.  There will be something for everyone! 

Reading in Key Stage 1 is exciting!  The vast majority of children will be reading by the end of the year and the change is always incredible.  At this age we want to foster a love of reading and so it is important that they are enjoying the sessions with you.  Remember that they don’t have to read every word – enjoy the books together.
