Class 2 - Bolton Abbey

Welcome to Bolton Abbey Class

Hello and welcome to Bolton Abbey Class!

We have great fun learning and growing together in our welcoming, vibrant and stimulating learning environment. Our teachers, Mrs Anderson and Mrs Townsend and teaching assistants Mrs Porter and Miss Rodgers take great care of us each day and plan exciting, purposeful and challenging learning linked to creative topics that we love.

We will keep you updated with all our fantastic learning so keep visiting our page.

This term the key Stage One children in Bolton Abbey class are going to be following the topic Childhood. Please see the topic tab for more information about how you can support your child's learning on this topic.

The Foundation Stage children are going to be starting the year with a topic called All about me

This topic explores the routines of school and encourages them to make new friends and feel confident in their class. This project also teaches children how they are unique and special, the importance of friendship and how people in their family, school and local community are important and can help them.

Outdoor learning with Bolton Abbey Class

The children in Bolton Abbey Class have regular opportunities to explore learning outside. Our classroom has direct access to a fabulous outdoor area which the children love to use to build creations with loose parts and explore mixing and concocting in the mud kitchen area. Whenever possible, we take our learning outside to make connections to the local environment and explore ideas on a larger, more exciting scale. On Wednesday afternoons, the children visit the local Pilsley Woods for Forest school activities learning about the seasons, the trees, plants and animals that live there and building deep connections to the environment over the school year. Children enjoy the opportunities to enjoy storytelling, hands-on exploration, investigation, and discovery, stimulating their curiosity and creativity.
