Sycamore Class

In Sycamore we have Year Two and Year Three children together. The Class Teacher is Mrs Cunningham and in the mornings Mrs Chapman is our class Teaching Assistant. We are lucky to have Mrs Farrant and Mrs Crowe help us with some of our interventions in the afternoon.

In most subjects we follow a rolling programme, which means that aspects of the curriculum are arranged so that the National Curriculum requirements are covered and all children learn appropriately for their year group without repeating topics.
Sycamore children are caring, enthusiastic and hardworking and are beginning to become more independent in their learning. Seating in the classroom is flexible and children regularly choose whether they would like to work on a table where an adult is nearby based on how confident they are feeling about the learning. Children enjoy having a range of classroom responsibilities and some children are members of the School Council.

The children in Sycamore are keen readers and they enjoy choosing books from various libraries around the school. They also like to recommend books to their friends. The love of reading inspires children’s writing and they really enjoy story writing.

The children enjoy the wider curriculum subjects as well as participating in additional learning experiences such as trips to visit and Stonehenge based on our local history unit. They always looks forward to lessons with our specialist teachers in PE, Art and Music.
