Welcome to Year 2

Class teacher – Mrs Richardson

TA – Mrs Fordham

Student Teacher - Miss Quelcutti

Summer is here! Please provide a named sunhat for your child and apply sun cream at home before school on sunny days and PE days when we may be outside for longer periods than usual. 

- PE -
Year 2 have PE on a Monday and Thursday afternoons.

Pupils now change into PE kits at school on PE days, so please ensure that kits are in school on these days. It is fine to leave PE kits on pegs throughout the week, rather than bring them home each day.

Please ensure all items are named, to reduce the likelihood of items of clothing getting lost.

Please make sure that earrings are taped over with plasters or microporous tape on PE days.  Only stud earrings should be worn to school.

P.E. Kit
Plain white t-shirt
Black or purple shorts

Suitable trainers for outside PE (indoor PE bare feet)

Black or purple jogging bottoms (for autumn/winter outdoor PE)
Black or purple sweatshirt/hoody (for autumn/winter outdoor PE)
 

- Reading -
The children will read every day at school during our whole class reading sessions. We also encourage pupils to choose a book to bring home which they think they will enjoy reading.

As they come across unfamiliar vocabulary, we (and you at home) can help to find out the meaning of those new words and explore putting the words into sentences in order to reinforce the correct context and use of the word.

Pupils will also have the opportunity to borrow a book from the school library each week. These can be changed every Friday.

Please write in your child’s reading record when you have heard them read at home so that we know how they are getting on and enjoying their chosen texts.

- Snack and Lunch -
Year 2 are entitled to free school meals. School meals can be pre-ordered at home, or pupils can choose their meals independently when they first come into class each morning.

The school provides a fruit or vegetable snack for mid-morning break, but children can bring a fruit or vegetable snack in from home if they wish.

Please avoid all nut products in lunchboxes, due to a number of allergies in school.
