Welcome to Year 2
Please remember to bring your bookbag each day, with your reading book inside, we have the opportunity to change our library books every week . We really encourage children to be reading at least 4 times per week and logging this on Boom Reader.
Similarly, children must be fluent in their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. TT Rockstar practise will support this and we highly encourage regular play to improve the children’s speed. This is especially important for the children’s SATs later this academic year.
PE days for both classes are Tuesday – 2RF Indoor PE/2KL Outdoor PE and Thursday – 2RF Outdoor PE/ 2KL Indoor PE. On these days, you should come into school wearing your PE kit with the approrpiate footwear. Full school uniform should be worn on all other days. Please can you ensure that long hair is tied back and jewellery is removed for these days. Please bring a healthy snack for playtime and please also remember a named water bottle.
If you have any questions, then please ask one of us .
