Year 2 – 2G

I am delighted to welcome the children back to school for our final term of year 2. I have had the best time watching them grow over the last two years- wow, I’m truly so proud of them all. They worked so hard on their SATs before half term- they have grown up so much and are certainly showing they are ready for the step up into the juniors.  Let’s make the next 7 weeks the best that they can be!

As the weather seems to be warming up, children need to bring a water bottle to school every day. We continue to have milk in the morning, but it can become very warm in the afternoon. If sun cream could be applied before school to protect the children as we head into the sunnier days.

Please see the overview for further information about curriculum coverage.

Don’t forget the children have their TTRockstars login it is inside their reading journal, if children do not have one, please ask and I will get it to you. I check these weekly for a class winner with the most points. We explicitly teach time in year 2, but it is definitely a unit that lends itself to home and the more you ask them to tell the time at home the more it will embed what they are learning in class.

Important information

• PE will be every Wednesday, please ensure children have a full kit (clearly labelled).
• Book bags must be brought to school daily, try to read at home every day just a few pages to build their fluency. It is vital that children are reading at home and bringing their book bags in every day to ensure that we can read with the children.
• Children receive fruit for the morning break, but they may bring in a healthy snack if they would prefer their own.
• Phonics begins at 9 am, children must be in school on time, if they are late, they will be missing their sound of the day. Coming into school late can leave the children feeling very worried and anxious, ensure they are in school at 8.50 am. The gates open at 8.45 am.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, BUT NEVER LATE IS BETTER.

Thank you, as always for your continued support.
