Great Year 2 learners
The children have settled really well in their first few days in Year 2 with lots of new routines to learn!
We look forward to meeting you over the next few weeks but for now, here is some key information about Year 2.
Adults
Mrs Taylor – Monday and Tuesday
Mrs Lake – Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Teaching assistant – Mrs Roth
Important days and dates
PE – Tuesday and Thursday
Spelling test – Friday
Homework – to be completed by the following Thursday
Class assembly – Wednesday 19th October at 2:40pm
Water bottles
These should be brought to school daily and they will be brought home every day for refreshing and cleaning.
Milk
Please contact the office if your child would like to have milk in Year 2.
Homework
Whole school homework is set every Friday (along with new spellings). This week your child will bring home a homework book and guide. This should be kept at home and it can be used for practising spellings. Homework and spellings can also be accessed from the website.
Reading
Your child will be bringing home a letter explaining about their reading.
Lexia
In Year 2, the children can access a reading/phonics online learning resource called Lexia. The children brought their login information home this week and it is great to see so many children have been accessing the resource already! Lexia certificates will be awarded every Tuesday if your child completes a level (by the end of Year 2, the children are aiming for achieving Level 9).
Numbots
We continue to use Numbots in Year 2 (using the same login as Year 1) and certificates will be awarded every Tuesday for children who earn the most coins and who complete the different stages.
For reading, Lexia and Numbots, little and often (10/15 minutes a day) is recommended.
Uniform
Please do check the uniform policy to ensure your child is wearing the correct items including for PE days. Earrings must be removed on PE days.
Finally, please do ask if there are any queries and keep checking back on class news to find out more about your child’s learning!
Y4 PE days
Hello!
Year 4 will be doing PE on Wednesdays and Fridays this year.
Please could your child come to school wearing their PE kit on those days! If you’re not sure on the PE kit, please let me know and I can give you the school’s uniform policy.
Thank you!

Goodbye Reception 2022!
We have reached the end of our year in Reception.
The children have all been amazing and we have been impressed with how much they have progressed. I will miss seeing them grow up!
Thank you for all your kind messages and presents.
Have a happy and healthy summer.
Goodbye Year 2!

Fruit bars
It was back in the kitchen for Year 2 again yesterday. This time, we made fruit bars (a healthy snack option). After using fresh and frozen fruits in our fruit salad on Monday, this time we used dried fruits.
We used measuring, mixing, snipping and mashing skills.
Hopefully the children enjoyed the finished product as a snack after school!
