Important Information for Year 2:

Entrance and Exit Points

Our class will enter the school building from Wellfield  Avenue. The gate will open at 8.40 am and close at 8.55am. If your child arrives after this time they will need to enter through the main office.

Children will exit from their classroom door by the front entrance car park at 3.15pm.

Reading and Homework

This year most children will continue to read books from our phonic scheme Read Write Inc. These books are linked directly to the books children are reading in school. When children have completed Read, Write Inc. they will bring home reading books at an appropriate level to read at home.

Book bags should be returned to school every Thursday.

Books will be changed during Friday's Read, Write Inc. session and book bags will be sent home on Friday afternoon.

Children will also bring home a piece of Maths and / or English homework and spellings to learn.

Homework should be completed and returned with bookbags the following Thursday.

PE

PE is on a Tuesday this year. Children should come to school in their PE kits ready for PE. If PE kits are needed on any other days we will let you know.

Children will have an additional PE session on a Friday.

Children should wear the school PE kit:

*Bottle green shorts

*Black leggings or jogging bottoms for winter months (OPTIONAL). Please have green shorts underneath or in a bag. 

*White crew neck t shirt - with school badge

*Black slip-on pumps or trainers
