Welcome to the P1/2 class of 2025/26
Mrs Hazley is our teacher and our wonderful classroom assistants are Mrs Todd, Miss Sills and Mrs Brown. We can't wait to share all the fun and learning in P1/2 this year!
In P1/2 we take a practical approach to teaching and learning allowing our pupils to find fun and excitement in their learning everyday!
A big part of P1/2 is Learning Through Play. We understand and value the importance of play in a child’s development. It contributes to positive mental health and wellbeing, develops skills such as resilience, problem solving, sharing and negotiating, and most of all - it is fun! Pupils also experience lots of opportunities for outdoor play and learning.
In P1/2 pupils build the foundations of their Numeracy and Literacy knowledge and understanding. We use the Jolly Phonics programme to teach early Literacy skills in a progressive, multi-sensory way. Practical materials are used in Numeracy to help children develop a sense of number and a love for the subject.
We work closely with our Nursery to ensure there is a smooth transition to Primary School. It is a happy year filled with wonderful experiences and opportunities for all children to grow, develop and learn.
Our Topics Include...
- Ta Daa! It's Me!
- Shhh! It's Almost Christmas.
- Brrr! It's Cold Outside.
- Love Your Garden.
- Wish You Were Here!
We have been busy exploring the season of autumn through lots of exciting, hands-on learning. We went on a walk to Belvoir Forest to collect autumn treasures, which we then used for sorting, pattern-making and creative art activities. In our outdoor area, we created a pumpkin patch where the children enjoyed painting, washing, sorting and exploring pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. Through these experiences, pupils developed their early maths, language and fine motor skills while discovering the beauty and wonder of the season. 🍂
This term our topic is “Ta Daa! It’s Me!” The children are learning all about themselves- what makes them special, their families, homes, feelings and the things they enjoy. We’ll also be exploring how we grow, stay healthy and what it means to be a good friend.
Wow, what a great few days we've had welcoming all our girls and boys to P1/2! A huge well done to everyone for settling so well and confidently into class.
