Welcome to Team Wharfe

Our class team

A day in the life of Team Wharfe

Team Wharfe consists of both Year 1 and Year 2 children.

Our day begins with a morning starter which is either Maths or Reading focussed. We then break into Year 1 and Year 2 as a key stage and the children are taught  Phonics and Guided Reading. The Teams then have English and our break time is 10.30 a.m. Maths then runs up to lunch time.

In the afternoon, the children come into a calm environment where they practise their handwriting. We then move into our creative curriculum subjects such as Science, History, Geography, Music, Art. Towards the end of the afternoon, we head outside for our daily exercise and we end the day with Story Time.

Tuesday and Thursday are our PE days.

Children can come to school in their school PE kit. Please ensure that PE kit is plain black or blue bottoms and jumper, a white t-shirt and does not have logos on.  Please can earrings be taped or taken out on the days your child has PE.

Homework

At the start of Autumn Term, the children will take a reading book home on a Friday and return it to school the following Friday. During this time, we ask the children to read at least 3 times at home.

From Spring Term, the children will get weekly spellings.
