Welcome to Otter class. We are a small, curious, mixed age group of reception, year 1 and year 2. Our classroom is a very exciting place to be, with ample independent learning opportunities for us all to enjoy, but also our more formal learning areas as we progress along our learning journey. Our teachers are Mrs Cage and Mrs Short, and we are supported by Mrs Boldero and Mrs Mills. Our topic this term is Celebrations, and we are asking questions such as “How does community affect my sense of belonging?”, “How do people celebrate in their communities?” and “ Are all communities the same?” In English we are currently exploring a version of the story of Rapunzel that is set in India, gathering exciting vocabulary, and writing super sentences. In maths we are focussing on place value and counting, and are using lots of different manipulatives to help us get to grips with it. We find ourselves demonstrating our resilience and our ability to be collaborative daily.
