Homework: A menu of homework choices (that are cross curricular) have been given out in pupils’ homework books- a minimum of 3 pieces need to be handed in at the end of this half term. Also, please try to ensure that an adult at home reads for a few minutes each day with your child as this will hugely improve the quality of their learning in all subject areas. Your child will bring home a sharing book and a Little Wandle book that is appropriately matched to your child’s reading ability.
PE: This half term, Year 2 have PE on a Thursday. PE kits needs to be in school on these day but it is recommended that it stays in school all week. Correct kit consists of a white t-shirt, black or dark shorts / leggings / jogging bottoms and trainers or plimsolls. Longer hair needs to be tied up and earrings removed or covered.
Values: The value that we are concentrating on this half term is Respect. Who will be our champion? We need to continue to demonstrate our other values: Focus, Boundaries, Independence, Self-regulation and Resilience.
We are celebrating our in-class achievements using Class Dojo. As a class, we need to work together to achieve our class stars.
Remember to share with us any ‘Outside School Achievements’ as we love to hear about them and we will celebrate these in school!
Please feel free catch us on the door at drop off / pick up to have a quick chat or send us a message via Class Dojo with any questions.
We’re looking forward to a fantastic year ahead! 🙂
Miss Evans, Miss Stirrat and Mrs Tabbner.
