Welcome to Year Two!

 

Hello everyone...

We also have Mrs Burrows - Teaching Assistant each morning and Mrs Gidman - Teaching Assistant on Monday - Wednesday afternoons.

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!

 

 

 

General Information

 

  • The children will begin the day at 8.45am entering through the Y2 classroom door (at the side of the school)

 

Morning breaktime is at 10.15am-10.30am

Hometime is at 3.20pm - the children will leave from the Y2 classroom door onto the playground. Please could parents/carers wait on the football playground (playground nearest the gates). Please give us a 'wave' particularly at the start of the year as we get to know you, so we can see who is collecting each child.

 

  • Children must wear clean PE kit  to school on Monday and Friday as we will not be getting changed at school, please can long hair be tied back on PE days and earrings removed. 

  • Water bottles must be filled each morning and labelled with names. After lunch, children will be given the option of refilling water bottles, 

  • Children should only bring a small bag if they need to, with their reading books and reading record once they receive it in September. The children have one peg for their coat and bag.

  • Lunch boxes/bags will go on a shelf in the cloakroom. They will also be provided with their own stationery. 

  • 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 will send home new logins at the beginning of the year, however, if you should 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.
