Homework
Year 2 will receive homework on a Friday. It should be completed and returned the following week. Children will be given a sheet with either a maths, reading or writing activity.
Reading
Please ensure reading is happening as much as possible. 'Pleasure for Reading' books will be changed on a Thursday. Little Wandle books will be changed on a Monday.
The most important thing is that children read every day. Reading books and journals should be in school every day. Remember, one book is for rehearsing fluency (Little Wandle) and the second book is to share and read for pleasure. Don't forget to sign your child's journal each time they read so they can earn their Reading Ambassador awards.
25 reads - Bronze award
50 reads - Silver award
75 reads - Gold award
100 reads - Reading Ambassador
Advice for reading with your child...
P.E
P.E is on Thursday and Friday .
On these days your child can wear their full PE kit into school. A full PE kit is a red t-shirt, black shorts, black trainers and a school jumper or cardigan. We do not allow children to wear pumps during PE so please ensure your child has trainers. If you do not have a full PE kit please come to school in your normal uniform and change into your PE kit before the lesson. No jewellery is allowed in PE. This also includes studded earrings. If your child is unable to remove their earrings, then please send them in with plasters to cover them up.
Water bottles
It is important for all children to have a water bottle in school everyday. These should be clearly labelled with their name and class.
