Mr Newsome is the class teacher with Mrs McInerney and Mrs Owens supporting each day. Mrs Bywater covers the class on a Monday afternoon. 

Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be returned by Thursday for marking. Spellings will also be given out on a Friday to practise for the following week, they will be stuck in planners but can be practised in homework books. 

PE days are Monday and Thursday and will be outdoors weather permitting so please ensure that appropriate PE kit is in school. It is suggested that it is brought on Monday and taken home on Friday to allow for any last minute changes. 

If your child accesses RWI, they will bring home a book matched to the level to their ability. These will be changed every Friday permitting your child returns the one previously given to them.

If your child has completed the RWI programme, they will choose a Reading for Pleasure book from the library. This will be changed once a week.

Children will also get the chance to choose a 50 Recommended Reads for Year 2 alongside their home reading book. Please take care of these books and your child will have the opportunity to change this once a week. 

Please make sure you try to read daily at home!  If you read four times a week and it is written in your Personal Organiser, you will get a raffle ticket to join our reading raffle! 

Our Reading Scrapbook will also be sent home each week to further share our love of reading in class. A new addition to the class has been Percy the Polar Bear! He is our cuddly friend who will get sent home with one child per week and loves to go on adventures!

The  children have made such a positive start to life in Year 2. The enthusiasm towards their learning has been fantastic! They loved our Literacy discovery point where we went on a tour of 'London'.
