Year 2
Hello everyone...
This year your class teacher is Mr Mr Sykes.
We also have a brilliant team in Year 2 this year, including: Miss Pickup, Mrs Taylor, Miss Helmoe-Larsen, Mirs Gidman and Miss Holmes. We have PE on Thursday Mr Jones.
We can't wait to get started on our Year Two journey together. 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 10.30am-10.45am
- Lunchtime is 12pm-1pm
- Afternoon breaktime is 2pm-2.15pm
Hometime is at 3.20pm. The children will leave from the Y2 classroom door onto the playground. 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 PE kit to school on Thursday 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 containing their reading books and reading record. Everyone has a locker for their coat, bag and lunch box.
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
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.
