Welcome to Year 2!

Welcome back.

We hope that you had a lovely summer. It's great to see you back even though things are a bit different.

This term Mrs Bennett's class will be doing outdoor PE on Tuesday and 'Keep active' fitness activities on Thursday. Mrs Smith's class will be doing outdoor PE on Thursday and 'Keep active' fitness activities on Monday. Please make sure that your child has outdoor PE kit in school at all times and if children are unable to remove earrings themselves please can they come to school not wearing any.

Homework will be sent out weekly in orange books, if handed in by Tuesday we will endeavour to send books out on Friday (due to Covid restrictions). If you have any problems with homework, please contact us and we will do our best to help.

Sadly, at this moment we will not be able to send Barnaby Bear home and we will not be able to do 'Show and tell'. 

Last week we posted the wrong spellings on the website. The spellings that the children brought home with them were the correct ones. We apologise for this error.

Stay healthy and happy!
