Welcome to Pegasus 2024-2025!

Hello! I am Mrs Rendell - the year two and three teacher. Mrs Corbett and Miss Finn are our brilliant teaching assistants, who we are very lucky to have helping in our class this year.

Each morning, the children complete a 'Quick Maths' challenge and work on their spelling and maths passports. This is a vital time of day so arriving and being organised by 8.45am is essential! 

We spend our mornings focused on our literacy and maths and the afternoons are science or non-core subjects. 

Here is a snapshot of our learning for this half term (Autumn 2024):

Maths - addition, subtraction, division and multiplication.

Science - Electricity (Year 3) Seasons (Year 2)

PSHE - Relationships

History - Romans

PE - Gymnastics and Football

Art - Famous artist - J M W Turner

Things you can do to help your child to learn well in school:

• encourage good organisation and have good routines in place
• spend time reading together daily
• ensure your child does their homework
• help your child to be organised eg make sure their PE kit is in school and water bottle.

A little note on homework - reading daily will benefit your child in so many ways and is a great time to snuggle up together. Working on their passports and helping them to practise their times tables and spellings will have a great impact on how they feel in the classroom.

We hope you check this page frequently to keep up to date with the learning in Pegasus! 

Mrs Rendell

Welcome to Pegasus Class!

In Pegasus Class you will find 21 awesome children. Mrs Young teaches on Monday mornings and Thursday afternoons and Ms Domoney for the rest of the week. You will also find Mrs Jameson, Mrs Robson and Mrs Hill, our amazing TAs, who love to help everyone with their learning. 

This term, inspired by our whole-school topic of 

SOUL, we are going to be:

• writers, inspired by the short film: Evol
• historians, deciding whether we would rather live in the Stone Age, the Bronze Age or the Iron Age
• mathematicians, learning how to use methods like column addition and the grid method and learning our times tables
• sportspeople, improving our batting, bowling and fielding skills as well as working on our running, throwing and jumping
• scientists, discovering the wonders of the plant kingdom
• computer scientists, creating our own digital music
• linguists, learning about French language and culture

Every week your homework will be:

- learn your spellings for a test and dictation on Fridays

- play either TTRockstars OR Numbots (aim for 300 points or 15 minutes)

- read three times, aloud to an adult

If you would like to do some more learning at home, see below for some ideas.
