Year 2 2017 - 2018

Welcome to Year 2! 

We hope you have had a wonderful festive period and a happy New Year and are ready for an exciting time in Class Two. We also welcome Mr. O'Hare who is a student teacher and will be with us up to February half term.

This is our Explore term and will focus on a geographical aspect which will be linked to our entire curriculum. We will be looking at the United Kingdom to begin with and focus on key landmarks and flags before progressing onto weather patterns. Following this there will be an exciting project for the children to use their creativity while showing their knowledge and understanding. After half term we will begin to look further afield.

In Class Two children will change their reading books on a weekly basis. The day your child is required to bring their book into school may change and subsequently can be found within their reading record.

The children will also be given a spelling sheet on a Monday to be completed and returned on the following Friday.

Homework will be given on a Friday and should be completed and returned to school on the following Tuesday.

P.E. in Class Two will take place on a Tuesday and a Thursday. Please ensure your child has their P.E. kit in school and that all clothing items are labelled. Both sessions for this term will be indoors and as a result the children will be in bare feet or pumps. If you child suffers from veruccas please ensure they have pumps or it is covered up adequately.

We highly encourage all children to bring in a water bottle to school every day. St. Jerome's water bottles are available from the school office for £1. All children in Class Two have access to a piece of fruit each morning break time at no charge. In addition to this: Castlerigg cookies are available every Wednesday morning break time for 30 pence; smoothies/milkshakes are available every Thursday morning break time for £1 and toast is available every Friday break time for 20 pence. If your child would like to purchase any of these items they should bring in the required money on each day and keep it safely in their tray.

We look forward to continuing our exceptional year! If you have any questions, concerns or require any further information please ask, our door is always open.
