Welcome to our lower school class page. The lower school is made up of Class 1 (Reception and Year 1) with Miss Johnson and Class 2 (Year 2) with Mrs Farmer.
In Class 1 we have a selection of continuous provision areas for pupils to explore, including our reading corner linked to the termly topic, woodwork bench, dressing up area, home corner, craft table and outdoor area. In Class 2 pupils are able to do more focused learning in a quiet and calm space. As the lower school we spend some afternoons doing Topic and Science in our shared classroom space together.
Follow this page to see all of the exciting things we get up to throughout the year!

Class 1 Visit to St Columbias Church
Visit to St Columbia’s Church
Our RE topic this term is 'Why and where do people pray?, this week we have discussed Christian places of worship, so we took the opportunity to visit our local church, St Columba's! The class explored the church, locating furniture and artefacts including the font, altar, pulpit, lectern and pews. We then took some time to explore with our senses, reflecting quietly in the space and noting down the sounds, smells and our emotions.
Our first forest school this year was a sunny one. The children showed fantastic listening skills and enjoyed getting out in nature.
Our school value this half term is friendship. Here is Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 exploring and experiencing our school value. What a great start to the year.
