Friendly Firecrests
Welcome to Friendly Firecrest Class!
Friendly Firecrest Class is our Year 1/2 class at Chailey St Peter’s. We have a lovely big classroom with lots of resources to support children's learning across the curriculum.
We are developing our love of reading and the children enjoy sharing their favourite books with each other and having story time at the end of the day. The books children take home are appropriate to their reading level and children have a daily reading record that parents and teachers can record in as a way of communicating how your child is responding to their reading book.
We love using real concrete resources that can be manipulated to explain reasoning and understanding in maths, we have a range of resources including Numicon, number lines, bead strings, counters and many more.
Firecrest Class are a very friendly bunch who are enthusiastic about all aspects of their learning!
The adults in the class are Miss Kelly and Mrs Webb.
Our big question term 4 and 4 is:
What can we discover about our world and plants?

In Friendly Firecrest class and across the school, we are passionate about supporting children’s well-being through our PSHE lessons and the use of our worry boxes, zones of regulation board alongside our feelings board for regular check ins and communicating emotions in the class. We value mistakes as proof of trying. Our school values are courage, friendship, forgiveness, perseverance, curiosity, respect and love.
Our Value focus this term is:
Perseverance
In Years 1 and 2, we use our 'Grow the Code' Grapheme mat to help consolidate our phonics understanding. Children who need extra support for phonics will be part of a Rapid Catch up group following the Little Wandle scheme.
