Year 2

Welcome to Year 2!

Our class teacher is Mrs Swift who is also our Early Years and Art and Design Technology subject lead. Mrs S Robinson is our teaching assistant who will be supporting children with reading, writing and maths every morning. Mrs S Robinson also covers PPA time on a Monday afternoon. 

What our week looks like:

• Monday - Library day.
• Wednesday - PE day, guitar lessons for those who are involved. Weekly maths check.
• Thursday - Weekly spelling check.
• Friday - PE,  new spellings issued and homework set.

Important Information 

• New spellings are issued on a Friday along with tasks set on spag.com and maths.co.uk. The children's login details can be found in the front of their reading records. 
• Please ensure that all children have a full PE kit with well fitting pumps in school that is clearly labelled. Kits will stay in school and be sent home at the end of each half term for washing.
• Children will need a labelled water bottle in school with them each day.
• Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled - hopefully this will help us to avoid things getting lost!
