Class 2 Information and Photos 2024/25

Welcome to Class 2!

Class 2 is made up of Year 1 and Year 2 children and is situated in a bright, well-equipped classroom with stunning views across the Riverford fields, we can even spot some alpacas! The class is taught by Miss Capaldi and is supported by Mrs Drew (Monday-Thursday), Mrs Gibbs (Monday-Friday mornings) and Miss Raymont (Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons). Mrs Ryder covers Miss Capaldi's out of class time on a Friday afternoon, and Mr Tanner teaches the children for PE once a week on a Monday afternoon.

Our topic webs will tell you all about what we are getting up to throughout the year, and this page will be updated with all of our fabulous learning. We like to make as much of our learning as practical as possible in Class 2, using apparatus, visual aids and lots of oral rehearsal before writing or recording to ensure we feel secure. We work with a ‘have a go’ attitude and treat making mistakes as a positive way of learning.

I hope you look forward to seeing our learning adventures this year! Please check back on this page and Facebook for Class 2 updates and photos.

Class 2 PE days are Monday and Thursday. Children should wear their PE kit into school on these days.

Year 1 get set their Key Words to practice at home every Wednesday.

Year 2 get set their Spellings to practice at home every Monday.

Tuesday 10th December

Class 2 had a wonderful time at Buckfast Abbey today for Angel Day. We enjoyed a story-telling session and lots of crafts in the morning. In the afternoon we were being Angel Detectives with our binoculars as we had a tour of the Abbey, and we lit candles to represent our prayers.

It's been a Christmassy kind of day in Class 2 today!
This morning we followed instructions carefully to make paper lanterns and next week we'll be writing our own instructions on how to make another Christmas decoration.

This afternoon we had a fabulous time on stage doing our Christmas Nativity, Shine Star Shine! Thank you so much to everyone who came to watch, we hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed performing it!

In DT this half term Class 2 will be making our very own puppets which we will be using to tell a well known fairy-tale.

Today we tried different methods of joining fabric together and decided which one was the best and most effective. Lots of us enjoyed using the stapler as it was the most fun and we thought the staples were the strongest!

The sun was shining on our welly walk around the village today as we spotted signs of Autumn! We sat on the green and sketched some trees and their leaves, thinking carefully about our colour choices. We can't wait to come back again in Winter and see what changes we notice.

I wonder what other signs of Autumn Class 2 will spot over half term?

Class 2 went on another minibeast hunt today, but this time in our forest school area! We were amazed by how many different beasts we found compared to the field. We particularly enjoyed shaking the trees lightly to see what might fall out (lots of spiders and ear wigs)! When we came back, we made pictograms of our data!

This week in Class 2 we've been learning all about Guy Fawkes and why we remember him. We really enjoyed doing some role play of the King and the Conspirators, we had some very cheeky children sat in jail!

Monday 09th September

Class Two really enjoyed their first PE lesson of the year all about invasion games. They had to get the rugby ball past their partner without being caught. Class Two had to be super speedy as they made their way to the end of the field!
