Newburgh C of E Primary School
Team Lucas
This is our Year 1 and 2 class. Our class teacher is Mrs Breheny and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs Ditchfield. We have P.E. on a Monday and Tuesday and Forest School on alternate Friday's. Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing in school for each activity. We change our reading books on a Friday and ideally children will read at home at least 4 times a week.
Please see our PowerPoint presentation for more information about joining Year 2.
Life in Team Lucas
Year 1 is a very busy year as we start working on the national curriculum. There is so much to learn and lots of fun to be had and we work as one big team encouraging everyone as we learn.
Year 2 children will be provided with spellings each Monday starting later in the Autumn term. These will be sent through our online platform Purple Mash via your child's email account. Children will be required to practise these spellings and know the meaning of them. Children will be required to read at home daily to consolidate their phonics knowledge, improve reading fluency and comprehension skills.
There will be opportunities to become part of our School and Eco Council. Children will be able to nominate themselves for these roles and create their own manifestos. The positions will be decided as each member of the class cast their votes. Other exciting roles within the class include P.S.H.E. Ambassador and Spiritual Leaders.
Throughout the course of the year, pupils continue to develop a love of learning. They take part in many hands on activities in which knowledge sticks and enhances learning experiences enabling them to become lifelong learners. Our Twitter feed gives you a flavour and keeps you up to date with some of the activities that the children have taken part in.

Curriculum
Knowledge Organisers
A Knowledge Organiser is a set of key vocabulary, facts and information on a topic that your child needs to be able to know and recall by the end of the topic. Please use these at home as conversation starters to discuss learning and as a way of helping your child commit their learning to long-term memory (for example, you may want to cut up the vocabulary and meanings and play matching pairs or encourage your child to learn how to spell the words).
