Welcome to the Rainbows!

Welcome to the Rainbows class! The class teacher is Mrs Orriss, who is supported by Ms Baxter and Mrs Evensen. 

Throughout the year, we will continue using Mastering Maths and Maths No Problem to build on the mathematics taught in year 1. We will also be focusing on the 2s, 5s and 10 times tables.

In English, we will be looking at a variety of texts and recreating these – we will look at text type and the tools the author uses to create a particular genre such as suspense, then the children will have the opportunity to innovate the text, writing their own version.  The children will use and create story maps to tell a story before they write it themselves.

Our humanities lessons will alternate each term between history and geography; we will compare Wainfleet to another country, the United Kingdom and compare Hot and Cold climates.  Our history topics will look at the Great Fire of London, how things change over time, and our local heroes.   

Science this year will introduce the children to the local environment, healthy me, properties of different materials, gardening and cooking.

A main focus for Year 2 we will be building the children’s self-confidence and independence ready for the move into Key Stage 2. 

I very much look forward to working with your children this year.

Mrs Orriss
