Welcome to Mrs Sidhu's Class, Years 1 and 2

Welcome to Mrs Sidhu’s class page!

We are a mixed Year 1 and 2 class and we aim to work hard in our class every day and strive to achieve our very best! Miss Stendall and Miss Noor help us with our learning in class.

We learn about many exciting topics in our class, and we learn through a variety of different ways. We use a variety of different teaching styles to ensure that each child feels confident to aspire to be the best they can be!

End of Year Expectations

Here you will find information for parents and carers on the end of year expectations for children in our school. The staff have identified these expectations as being the minimum requirements your child must meet in order to ensure continued progress throughout the following year.

All the objectives will be worked on throughout the year and will be the focus of direct teaching. Any extra support you can provide in helping your children to achieve these is greatly valued.
