As the children at North Mundham move into Year Two, our aim is for them to become more independent and responsible for their own learning. Whilst the style of teaching and learning does become more formal, the emphasis is very much on creativity, exploration and challenge. This is reflected in the broad range of topics and activities that the children will experience as well as the opportunities the children have for applying their learning within our locality.

Within the class we foster a love of learning, be it at home or at school, sharing our experiences and celebrating mistakes, as we don’t all learn in the same way at the same time.

Towards the end of the year, the children will be taking part in end of Key Stage SATs, and whilst they will be well prepared, these are very informal, and the intention is that the children hardly even know they are happening!

By the end of the year, our hope is that the children will be confident, engaged young learners looking forward to the challenges of Key Stage Two!
