Classes at New Holland Church of England and Methodist Primary School

Class Dojo

We want to keep everybody updated with what the children are learning and share with you how they are 'flourishing'. Below you will find Long Term Plans, Medium Term Plan Weekly Overviews, Class Newsletters (sent out half termly) and pictures of the classrooms and learning environments. In addition, when you join our school, you will be set up with a Class Dojo account. This enables teachers to share examples of learning with you weekly and also to update you with key messages. A child's education is enhanced when school and home work in partnership. We greatly appreciate and value your support and what you to feel involved in your child's learning.

Year 3 and Year 4

Year 3 and 4 are critical years in a child’s development. At East Halton Primary School, we ensure a smooth transition between Key Stage 1 and Lower Key Stage 2 which ensures all children are well-prepared for any changes in the timetable and curriculum. Children in Lower Key Stage 2 are provided with a range of practical, sensory and creative experiences which allow them to gain a deeper understanding of concepts through application and reasoning. Children are provided with the opportunity to work within groups, pairs or independently throughout the day. An overview of the themes and and knowledge covered in each subject is shown on our curriculum page.

Organisation

How we organise Teaching and Learning at New Holland Church of England and Methodist Primary School

  • EYFS (Nursery and Reception) are taught together. Nursery children attend the morning sessions only
  • Key Stage 1 (Year 1 and Year 2) are taught together as one class. At times, a selected group of Reception pupils may join them
  • Lower and Upper Key stage 2 (Year 3/4 class and Year 5/6 class) are taught either as paired year groups or as a whole class. This is subject dependent. Some subjects are taught on a two year cycle; other subjects are taught on a four year cycle.
