Haddon Class is a mixed-age class of Year 1 and 2. There are currently 30 children in this class. For morning sessions, Haddon is split into year groups. Year 1s are taught by Miss O'Shea, whilst Year 2s are taught by Miss Johnson. Year 1 and 2 are taught together in the afternoons by Miss O'Shea. The class is supported by Mrs Tannahill and Miss Phillips, in the mornings and by Mrs Hargreaves and Mrs Byard in the afternoon.
The children in Haddon Class love to learn through exploration and play.

Reading
Pie Corbett’s Reading Spine is a core of books that create a living library inside a child’s mind. It is a store of classics and essential reads that help children engage at a deeper level and enter the world of the story. Please follow the links below for the reading spines for each year group.
Phonics
The Year 1 children in Haddon Class also take part in daily phonics sessions. We follow the 'Little Wandle' program to enable the children to learn their letters and sounds. More information for parents can be found here.

What an amazing visit from Jungle Jo! The children learned even more about how we can classify animals whilst getting close to a selection of Jungle Jo's animals, including a tree frog and a hissing cockroach.
