Swifts (Year 2/3)

Welcome to Swifts!

We are excited to start this new school year with your child and are looking forward to all the of the wonderful experiences that lie ahead.

Swifts are taught by Miss Sam McDonald with TA support from Mrs Karen Allen. On Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday (all day), Miss Jo Allen teaches the class whilst Miss McDonald has her PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) time and Leadership Time. We are also supported by Mrs Ali McGivney and Mrs Paula Manson.

We are a Year 2/3 mixed class with 21 Year 2 children and 7 Year 3 children.

Your involvement is key to helping your child make good progress and there are several ways you can support them. Please encourage your child to practice writing numbers and letters correctly at home to build their confidence and skills. Also, regular reading together will not only enhance their reading abilities but also nurture a love for books. Supporting any home-learning tasks we set and reinforcing the correct spelling of high-frequency words are also essential because this involvement helps consolidate the children’s learning.

Enjoy looking through our class page and the curriculum opportunities your child will have this year. We will update our blog regularly so you can see what we have been up to.

Please remember that we are here to help, support and address any concerns you may have. We are dedicated to creating a consistent, positive and supportive environment for your child and are eager to work together for a great year ahead.
