R2 2025 - 2026

Welcome to R2's class page!
My name is Miss Ashcroft and I’m really looking forward to teaching a fun, hands-on, and engaging curriculum this year. I’m excited to get to know each child individually and to support them as they learn, grow, and flourish throughout the year.

Alongside me I will have the support of Mrs Cross, Miss Haig, Miss Gillibrand and Mrs Priest who are our LSA’s (Learning Support Assistants).

In Autumn 1 our topic/theme is ‘Wonderful Me!’. We will be learning about…

• Ourselves
• Our local area
• How to care for living things
• Autumn
• Rules and responsibilities
• How to talk about our feelings
• The book ‘The Something’ and the story of Little Ren Hen
• How to write simple labels
• Poetry and rhymes
• How to use the maths resources effectively in our classroom
• How to match, sort and compare amounts
• Patterns, capacity and size
• Set 1 Read, Write Inc phonics

Across the year I will update this page with galleries, key information and our learning overviews which will give more information on the learning taking place.

Other key information…

• Our PE day is Monday. Please send your child in their full PE kit on this day
• Please send in a named water bottle each day (NO juice please)
• Please make sure all items of clothing are named
• Homework will be sent out on a Friday and is to be returned on a Wednesday. This may be in a physical book but will at times be electronic homework via Dojo
• Please read at home each night, or complete phonics videos and handwriting, and record this in your child’s homework diary

If you ever have any questions or concerns please always reach out via Dojo and I will happily talk these through with you.

Thank you,

Miss Ashcroft
