We are starting Red Rose Spellings this half term in Year 2 so we will not be sending spellings home for the first half term. During this period, please help your child to learn the Common Exception Words for Year 1 and 2.  In addition to spellings at home and daily reading, your child will also bring home number facts to learn for a test on Thursdays. Your child will bring their spelling test home after it has been marked for you to see.

Reading

We cannot emphasise how important it is to read with your child daily and discuss the text. We ask you to do this little and often and recommend ten minutes a night.  Your child's reading book will be changed once a week. Please ensure the book is brought to school every day. 

PE

Please ensure your child has a named PE kit in school. Our PE lessons will be on Monday mornings and Friday afternoons this year, although these times are sometimes subject to change at short notice. Children wearing earrings in school on these days must be able to remove them independently or they will not be able to take part. Please also ensure children with long hair have it tied up for these days.

Other useful information

Please ensure all your child’s clothing is clearly labelled as things can easily get misplaced. Please ensure your child wears a warm, waterproof coat and sensible shoes. Fresh fruit is provided for all KS1 children during morning break. 

We thank-you for your continued support and will do our best to make sure this year is a happy, enjoyable and successful year for your child as they move through Year 2. If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to pop in at the end of the school day or leave a message via the school office.
