Year 1/2 – Skylark Class
Welcome to Skylark Class!
In Year 1/2 we are nurtured under the caring wings of Mrs Leighton and Mrs Ward, our dedicated teachers who guide skylarks in their learning journey.
Supported by the wonderful Mrs Foxall and Mrs Kirk, our classroom is a vibrant community where every child is encouraged to be independent and curious. We believe in hands-on experiences, creative exploration, and fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. 
A typical day might look like this…
- Each day begins with maths, where we focus on increasing our number fluency and honing our mathematical abilities.
- We practice our handwriting skills, following the Kinetic Letters programme
- We have daily phonics lessons uses the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised scheme
- Our writing is taught through Curious Quests and Pathways to Write so we are inspired in our writing tasks.
- Our afternoons are filled with enriching activities that span the wider curriculum, igniting a passion for learning beyond the basics.
- As a church school, we have daily worship. This can be whole school or within class. We have the opportunity once per term to lead worship for the rest of the school – we explore themes through stories, we write prayers and allow time for reflecting too.

We can’t wait to share the exciting world of Skylark class with you!
