Skylark |

Welcome to Skylark Class!

We have 13 children in Skylarks class from Reception to Year 2. Our teacher is Miss Huckle and our teaching assistants are Mrs Phillpotts and Mrs Priddin.

We have a lovely, bright, well-resourced classroom, with a creative area for indoor learning & play and a safe, enclosed outdoor area that is always accessible (with boots and waterproofs ready for rainy days!).

In Early years, children have access to a range of resources in our classroom and outdoor area where they can be creative and take ownership of their learning. We plan activities and enhancements and children are taught phonics on a daily basis to develop their knowledge of blending and segmenting sounds. Adults support children by introducing them to new experiences, concepts and skills.

Welcome back!

Our topic this term is Castles! We will be learning about the history of castles and what kind of Monarchs lived in them years ago. We will be learning about the Monarchs Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Elizabeth II and Queen Victoria and their time of reign such as the Tudor and Victorian periods. In Science, we will be investing how waterproof materials are by testing them. In D&T, we will be creating Knight shields and 3d castle models. In Art, we will re-create Paul Klee’s ‘Castles in the sun’ using different 2d shapes.
