Year 2
Welcome to Year Two!
Hello everyone...
This year your class teachers are Mrs Craven and Mrs Windsor. Mrs Craven will be teaching on Monday and Tuesday and alternate Wednesday afternoons and Mrs Windsor on the opposite Wednesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday
We also have a fabulous team of Teaching Assistants helping us - Mrs Taylor, Mrs Burrows, Mrs Gidman and Mrs Cooper.
Mr Jones form North West Sports Coaching will also be returning to teach one lesson of PE each week and run an after school club.
We can't wait to get started on our Year Two journey. We will work hard, learn lots of new skills and knowledge, look after each other and have lots of fun!

Children should only bring a small bag with their reading books and reading record in. The children have a locker for their coat and bag.

Lunch boxes/bags will also go in the children's lockers.
Please can you ensure all items of clothing are named, so we can allocate any items that are left at the end of the day to the right child!
Seesaw and Twitter
Seesaw is the platform for the children's homework, spellings, any additional learning at home, celebratory events etc. We have sent home new logins at the beginning of the year. However, if you need a new login during the year, please let us know. We will from time to time put messages for parents/carers onto the Family Announcements section in addition.
Twitter will be used by the teachers and teaching assistants to upload pictures of work, activities, special events for you to view at home. This will enable you to see some of the exciting things we are doing in school.
