Squirrels (Yr1/2) 2022 - 2023
Mrs Harrison
Welcome to Squirrels' Class
In Year 1/2 we are storing up God's words in our hearts and unlike squirrels, our class does not need to forage high and low for our soul food, nor hibernate away, we use every spiritual moment in school through prayer, reflection, worship and celebration to open our hearts to God.
Our teacher is Mrs Harrison.
Our teaching assistants are Mrs Line, Mrs Hart and Mrs Jones.
Super, soulful Squirrels start here!
‘Let Your Light Shine’ (Matthew 5:16)
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
| Our Class Charter- How To Let Our Light Shine |
|
We will listen to Mrs H so we grow our brains and learn lots. Celebrate! We want to be kind to each other, ourselves and our grown-ups. Choose kindness. We will look after our classroom and all the stuff in it. Love it. We will ask for help to keep problems small instead of making them bigger. Trust and help each other. |
Our School Christian Values
- Love
- Hope
- Friendship
- Trust
- Forgiveness
- Joy and celebration
At Tarporley we follow a B.O.O.K.S approach for part of our spiritual guidance and personal development.
School starts at 8.40am and home time is 3.20pm
PE days are Wednesday and Friday. Please come to school in your PE kit.
Homework information can be found on the 'Homework' and 'Home Learning' tabs of this page.
We are a mixed year 1 and 2 class. We will study the Key Stage 1 National Curriculum and Mrs Harrison will adapt the learning expectations to individuals' needs and age to make sure everyone's light shines brightly.
Mrs Harrison will write a blog about our learning at least twice every half term (see the tab at the top - Mrs H's blog.) and will put something class-based on Twitter once a week.
Mrs Harrison is new to Tarporley CE Primary this academic year and feels privileged to be teaching the Squirrels. She has spent lots of time in school over the holidays moving in and considering how to move every child's learning forward from day 1. She has also been busy moving house as she had been living and teaching in primary schools in Bournemouth for the last 20 years; she's now 'back home' and raring to go :) She has very much enjoyed these positive and productive first two terms and is looking forward to this summer one!
