Class 2

Miss R White

Welcome to Class 2 2022/23. The Class Teacher is Miss White and there are 30 pupils in the class. This class is supported by Miss Wilson.

About me

Hi! I’m Miss White and I’ve been teaching at Consett Junior School for a couple of years now. I love teaching Year 3 and seeing the children change and mature over the year, the difference in them from September to July is huge! One of my favourite things to do is to photograph our amazing time in Class 2 and share the pictures to our school app and in our class book.

I love shopping, being in the outdoors with my beautiful dog Reggie and staying active in the gym. Lately however, I’ve hung up my shopping bags for hammers and drills as my free time has been taken up with renovating my first home. Everyone keeps telling me it’ll be worth it in the end, so I guess we’ll see!

About Class 2

Class 2 is all about settling into their new school and adapting to new teachers, routines and being around older children. Children in Class 2 always demonstrate resilience and kindness no matter what. I look forward to finding out each unique quality of the pupils in Class 2 and tailoring the curriculum around their needs.

English

I am very passionate about reading and try and instil this hobby within the children I teach. This term we will be studying two fantastic books. ‘Gorilla’ by Anthony Browne and ‘Stone Age Boy’ by Satoshi Kitamura. The children will be immersed in each story, taking part in many experience days to bring the books to life. I can’t wait to share our brilliant writing and creativity with everybody.

Maths

In Math’s we will be using White Rose to develop our mathematical skills and understanding. The first term will focus on place value, addition and subtraction as well as multiplication and division. After half term we will start using Times Tables Rockstars to develop quick recall of multiplication and division facts- I’m sure there will be lots of competition to beat me!

Science

In Science this term we will study Animals Including Humans and take part in lots of interesting investigations and experiments – my favourite is looking at the skeletons of animals. I wonder if the next David Attenborough will be in Class 2?

Other projects/topics/themes:

We’ll be learning about the Stone Age through to the Iron Age and Ancient Civilisations and this will centre around our History as well as Art and DT. I particularly enjoy the Computing curriculum in Year 3 where the class have the opportunity to explore the internet safely and responsibly, using our class blog and making their own websites. Our P.E days will return to their original format in January 2023. Monday will be INDOOR and Friday OUTDOOR. Please ensure your child is dressed in correct kit on both daysWe will give out prizes for those consistently wearing correct uniform at the end of each term. My favourite units of work in P.E have been Yoga and Fitness. I look forward to seeing who will be championing their house team during Sports Day in the summer term.
