Class 2 (Mercury)

Next Previous

Welcome to Class 2 - also known as Butterfly Class. We are lucky enought to be taught by all of our wonderful teachers: Mrs Buckthought, Mrs Castle and Miss O'Malley who specialise in different lessons to make sure we get the indepth and rigorous teaching we deserve. Mrs Buckthought and Mrs Castle teach us in English and curriculum subjects and Miss O'Malley delivers our maths lessons. Miss Downes, Miss Millie and Miss Charlotte are our fabulously supportive teaching assistants who make sure we have everything we need whether that's support for our learning or a gentle chat. We have lots of fun, laughter, learning adventures and exciting opportunities to explore new learning. We are also a very caring and friendly group of children , who look out for each other. In fact, our whole school is a caring and welcoming school -which I am sure you already know as you are a part of our family.

Mrs Buckthought, Mrs Castle and Miss O'Malley, our teachers, support us to become confident and unique members of the class. They love for us to blossom and grow as individuals who enjoy leading their own learning - even if it might not be what they had planned for that day! Everything they plans helps us to develop our key learning dispositions: resilience, curiosity, independence, collaboration and reflective. These dispositions help us on our learning journey throughout our time at Werrington. Oh - and guess what - our teachers even like it if you make mistakes - they say it is good to make a mistake as it helps us to learn. So never be afraid to have a go, to try your best, be brave and get stuck in as there are so many people here to help you grow and fly as a learner. In fact, they want you to be just like a butterfly, emerging from your chrysalis and flying free as you experience all that we have to offer at Werrington.

We love books - any type of book. We have a whole school reading competition each week and the class with the highest percentage of readers gets a reward. We have won quiet a few times and have had rewards such as ice cream (with sprinkles), time to play with Playdoh, hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows, extra play and a short film. We also have 'Love to Read time'.

You will find out that Mrs Buckthought and Mrs Castle will do anything they can to inspire and motivate us to be fabulous life long learners.

We are now using Class Dojo to share our learning with family members. If you have a login please have a look to see what we are up to in class. https://www.classdojo.com/en-gb/
