Miss Jones, Mrs. Rogers and their wonderful class welcome you to 1/2J's class page!

Here you will find: information, photos and videos of some of the exciting things that happen in our class. We look forward to sharing with you all of the interesting things we get up to this year and everything we are learning! 

Reading at home each night is essential for your child's learning. We also set weekly homework on Google Classroom to support the learning taking place in class. This work is set on a Monday and is due in the following week. 

This half term we have PE on a Wednesday and the children must come to school dressed in their PE kits.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries or questions. 

Thank you for your support,

Miss Jones
