Welcome to Year 2
Dear Parents/Carers,
It has been an absolute pleasure welcoming your children back to school and into Year 2. They have all settled really well into their new classes and are already showing a great attitude towards their learning and being part of our school community.
Working with the children in Pluto class are Mrs Lorimer (Class teacher) and Mrs Oliffe (teaching partner). In Jupiter Class, Miss Ware (Class teacher) and Mrs Cobley (teaching partner). Mrs Haberfield will cover PPA in Pluto on Wednesday afternoons and Mrs Owen will cover PPA in Jupiter on Friday afternoons.
We hope you find the following information useful;
- Please remember children need to wear their P.E kit to schools on their P.E days. Jupiter class will be doing P.E on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Pluto Class on Tuesdays and Fridays.
- Please can all children bring a named water bottle to school every day.
- Reading books will be changed every Monday where the children will be given two books to read throughout the week, giving children the opportunity to practise reading and develop their understanding of the books that they have read.
- Please read with your child as often as possible. This should be an enjoyable experience for you and your child, reading to them is just as important as listening to them read.
- Our project for terms one and two is ‘Where in the World Are We?’ We will be learning about the local area and where we are within the UK and beyond.
- Homework will be set on Sumdog. Further guidance on this will be sent in a separate letter.
- Learning Times Tables is a whole school focus. To support your child please practise the 2, 5 and 10 times table with them.
- Spellings will be sent home every Monday in their reading diaries.
We look forward to getting to know you and your child over the course of the year. If you need to get in contact with us, please use the email [email protected]
Many thanks for your support.
The Year 2 Team.
