Hello and welcome to the Primary 2 and 3 section of our website! My name is Miss Dodwell and I am the Primary 2 and 3 teacher, alongside Beth and Donna our classroom assistants. Together we bring experience and enthusiasm to support all the children in our class to reach their full potential. 

This term our topic is People Who Help Us where we will be looking at the role and responsibilities of police officers, firefighters and paramedics. We are hoping to have visits from some police officers, firefighters and paramedics. 

In literacy the children will be writing wanted posters, missing people posters, they will also be learning to write short stories. The children will be writing a report about on the police, firefighters and paramedics. 

In numeracy they will be covering number, weight, shape and space, time and data handling. 

The children will have the opportunity to use the laptops where they will be working on using a programme called JIT. On the programme theu will use the paint tool where they can be creative using different colours and brush sizes. They can use pictures and stamps and colourful backgrounds. They will also be using JIT write where they have a choice of word banks, text to speech and speech to text functions to assist their writing.

The children will have the opportunity to use the structured play room which is linked to our People Who Help Us topic with the role play area as a Police Station. The children will also be able to use the new outdoor area and equipment. 

In Primary 2 and 3 we aim to make learning fun and enjoyable through a range of different activities.
