Welcome to Holly class where we are we keen and enthusiastic to learn. We are curious and ask lots of questions about the world we live in. We are respectful and kind to everyone and we care about the environment. We challenge ourselves and each other to try our best.

In Holly Class, your teachers are Mrs Nicholls, Mrs Coggins, Miss W, Miss Georgia. Mrs Nicholls enjoys swimming, reading and going to the beach. Mrs Coggins loves horses and spending time with her family. Miss W likes reading stories and baking. Miss Georgia loves music, is a great singer and can play the guitar. 

P.E. days are on Tuesday and Friday Your child will need to come to school wearing their P.E. kit on these days. We follow the Real P.E. scheme to provide the children with fun, high-quality teaching.

Forest school will take place on Thursday mornings come rain or shine! Please ensure that your child has a raincoat, wellie boots and indoor shoes at school at all times, so that they are always prepared.  During Forest Schools, the children will extend their curriculum based learning in the outdoors, using skills and resources, which they find in our woodland area.

As a school, we follow Bug Club to teach Phonics. The children have access to Bug Club at home where they can consolidate their learning through exciting books, games and lessons linked to our weekly phoneme/grapheme and your child’s reading level. There is no set day for book change. The children are welcome to change their book once they’ve finished the whole book and have answered comprehension questions linked to their book with an adult.

All children have access to Doodle Maths (Maths) and Purple Mash (ICT) at home to consolidate their learning and develop their interests further.
