Miss Keatman's Class 2020 - 2021

Miss Keatman

My name is Miss Keatman and I am the Year 2 class teacher.

I have been at Alsager Highfields for 11 years now and this is my third year in year two. I thoroughly enjoy the challenges of year two, helping to prepare the children for their transition into the juniors.

If I have some time for myself, I enjoy watching a film or curling up with a good book.

You will also see Miss Hook and Miss Byron in our class this year. They will both be working with us at different times throughout the week. Miss Hook has been at Alsager Highfields for over 10 years as an invaluable HLTA and we welcome Miss Byron as a new member of staff.

Miss Keatman's Class

Week beginning 21st June

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend. :)

English:

This week, we will be continuing with our pirate theme. We will be listening to and learning a story all about a little girl called Ashanti. She magically gets transported to a pirate ship with her brothers where an adventure ensues. We will then retell the story, using our story language to make it better. We will be writing in cursive handwriting and remembering all of the grammar, punctuation and spellings that we have learnt in year 2.

We will be doing our spelling test as normal on Wednesday afternoon and Guided Reading on Thursay afternoon for my accelerated readers.

Maths:

In maths this week, we will be recapping parts of our maths curriculum that we found tricky; this will include odds and evens and subtraction with exchange.

We will also be doing a times tables test and our 10 minute test (children's choice).

Science:

In science this week we will be assessing what we have learnt in our materials topic this term and recapping parts that we found tricky.
