We do not limit the material to one reading scheme where a child is seen to be 'climbing a ladder'. This will include picture books, rhymes, poetry and plays, and core reading schemes to ensure progression and the learning of skills. We encourage the involvement of home in working with us as the children develop their reading expertise. From Year 1 the children may borrow a County Library book. We ask parents to be responsible for all the books brought home from school.
All children do cookery on a rota basis as part of the curriculum.
Cookery links with technology, maths, science and health education. The children in the class share the cooked or prepared items. During part of the year activities are held at lunchtime for Year 2 children. We ensure that every Year 2 child has the opportunity to join in at least one of these activities. Religious Education and Assemblies Through Religious Education we aim to develop in the children an understanding of religious beliefs and practices in our multi-cultural society.
