Hello and welcome to the Hawthorn Class page.
Here, you will find information about the learning and activities that will take place both inside and outside the classroom.
Please take some time to explore the information provided and discover what Hawthorn Class has to offer.
Here is a class charter that the members of Hawthorn created together. They discussed the classroom and school and how the environments should be safe and happy places, and they then talked about different ways that we could work together to make this happen. For each idea, the children then explained their answers and for some extended them. Some answers even needed extra bits noting. For example, we know that we don’t run in class, but if it is P.E. then that is okay.
Once we had discussed, explained and agreed to the new rules, the class then signed their names to say that they would try their hardest to follow them. We are a team, so we also agreed to help each other remember the rules if we ever noticed that someone had forgotten one of them.

Important Things to Note
PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Kits should be kept in school for the entire half term.
Each child will need a water bottle with them each day. These should be taken home daily to be cleaned and refilled.
Mixed Classes 2026-2027
This academic year we are having three mixed Year 1/Year 2 classes in KS1. To make sure we teach age appropriate curriculum and meet the needs of the children, the children will will move around in the mornings to 'core subject teaching groups'. This might mean your child gets taught by other teachers in KS1. Most afternoons the children will be back to their own class for foundation subjects. This is an excellent way for the children to get more personalised learning. All KS1 teachers will be working closely together to plan and prepare engaging lessons. Any questions about how this will work, please ask.
What we will be Learning.
Home Learning
We send home the words and sounds covered in Little Wandle during the week. These are sent home each Friday and are used to reinforce at home the learning that takes place in school.Spellings can be practised in a variety of ways, and evidence of this practise is not expected. We do send spelling books home with the children, but there is no expectation that they are completed.Little Wandle reading books are sent home each Wednesday and should be returned the following Monday.
The books used in this scheme are limited in number, so it is important that they are returned each week. This ensures that the books can then be passed on to the next children following the scheme.
Please ensure that the books are read at home with your child. This should be recorded in their reading record.
