Reading and Homework
Reading is such an important part of your child's development. It helps with many things including their vocabulary, writing, spelling and understanding of the world we live in.
Children in Year 2 are expected to read for at least 4 times a week and record this in their Reading Record.
Please ensure reading is completed and reading diaries are handed in every Wednesday. Children who miss reading will be directed to reading catch up after school on a Monday with Mrs Windel and Mrs Basford.
Maths homework is also set each week.The children will also continue to develop an understanding of the spelling, punctuation and grammar that is expected in Year 2. Children in Year 2 will be given spellings to practise at home and tested weekly. Optional dojo homework is set each half term.
P.E
Birch class has P.E. on Wednesday (inside) and Friday.

If you have any queries or concerns about your child's learning then please do not hesitate to speak to us, either by phoning the school office or sending a message on Class Dojo.
Keeping Safe
As a school, we take safeguarding very seriously. This includes online safety and we are very aware that many children enjoy playing on tablets, phones and even with Alexa!
Please help us to keep your children safe by clicking on the image below and keeping up to date with tips and ideas to keep children safe on the internet.
Uniform
Please label all uniform including coats, P.E. kit, shoes, hats and jumpers. It is extremely difficult to locate lost uniform if it does not have a name on it. We will be labelling these items if they are not already labelled.
