Welcome to House Martin Class

We are a class of 29 Year 2 pupils. During the autumn term our topic will be 'Our wonderful world' which will be a Geography based topic. In Science, we will be focusing on 'Animal parts' and 'Seasonal Changes'.

Staffing
Our teachers are Mrs Adams (Monday-Wednesday) and Mrs Page (Thursday-Friday).
We are supported by Mrs Lees (Monday-Friday).

Reading
Our phonics scheme is called ‘My Letters and Sounds’. Currently, we focus on Phase 5 sounds. The children will bring home a phonics book to practise their sounds and read at home. This book should be brought to school every day in their school book bag. Please encourage your child to read every day, little and often is best. Books will be changed on Tuesday and Friday. Clacton has a wonderful library, so please encourage your child to sign up and borrow books to read. 

For those children who are confident and fluent with their phonics, they will be tested using our Salford Reading Assessment. These children will bring home colour-banded books. These will be changed once the book has been completed as these are slightly longer texts.

Important information:

Please make sure that children have their own water bottles that they can bring to school daily. This must contain water, not juice or squash. Please make sure that the bottle is named. Please label all clothes clearly with the children's names.

Our PE days will be on Tuesdays. Please make sure all jewellery is removed.

Please ensure all long hair is tied up fully as per our uniform policy and any bows are small and in our school uniform colours. 

Class Dojo is our main point of contact. We will update this platform regularly. If you ever have any non-urgent questions or queries, please send a message through this platform and someone will get back to you as soon as possible. Any urgent messages should be reported through the school office. Thank you for your support.
