Hello and welcome to the Stephenson Class webpage!

Welcome to the wonderful world of year 1 and 2. My name is Mrs Killion and I am Stephenson Class’ teacher. Miss Riggall will also be supporting the children in the class each day.  In our class we are helpful, kind and take care of one another. Our children are valued and are always encouraged to try their best, no matter how challenging something may seem at first. We make learning engaging, interactive and fun, and enjoy learning through our exciting topics! 

This page will be updated on a weekly basis - so keep looking out for any changes. I will be also uploading some fantastic photos of what we have been learning in class. 

If you would like to speak to me or another member of staff you can contact the school office or, if your request is not urgent, you can send a message to the class email - stephenson.woodhouses@gmail.com  

Thank you

Mrs Killion ☺

Important days

Tuesday and Wednesday - PE 

Please ensure your child has both indoor and outdoor PE kit in school on these days. No earrings or watches to be worn during PE lessons.

Friday - Spelling test (Year 2) / Phonics Home Learning (Year 1)

The children will have their new spelling list or phonics home learning written in their spelling books. The spelling list and phonics home learning will also be uploaded onto the Stephenson class homework page every Friday so that the children can still practise their spellings at home should they leave their spelling books in school. 

Other important information

Reading

It is really important that you child reads for at least 10-15 minutes each night. We recommend that children aim to read each book twice before changing it. Books will be changed on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Reading with your child at home is a crucially important way to support their learning. Reading books together, reading to your child, hearing them read, discussing reading technique, stories, poems and non-fiction texts are all key ways to help your child to develop into an able and accomplished reader and writer.

Don't forget your child also has access to the online reading platform Bug Club. This can be accessed for additional online reading books. https://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk/
