Year 2/3

Welcome back! We hope you had a wonderful summer holiday! We look forward to seeing you all on Thursday. Please ensure your child/ren enter via the KS2 gate at 8.40 and make their way up to the top playground. The whistle will be blown at 8.45 and the children will make their way down to the classroom. Teachers will be there on the first day to support with this.

At the end of the day (3.25pm) please collect your child/ren from the courtyard (enter via the reception gates). We will dismiss the children from the courtyard doors.

Timetable:

Outdoor PE is on a Thursday
Indoor PE: Hammerhead Shark (Friday), Spinner Dolphins (Wednesday) and Sea Turtles (Tuesday)

PE kit is a red or white t-shirt, black/red hoodie, black shorts or jogging bottoms and trainers (plimsolls for inside). Branded items should be kept minimal.

Forest School every other week: Spinner Dolphins (Tuesday 10th), Hammerhead Shark (Thursday 12^th) and Turtles (Thursday 19^th)

Please ensure forest school kit and wellies are in school. This kit is also used by the children at break and lunchtime if it is muddy and they are on the field. If children do not have full kit, they will not be able to attend Forest School. Please ensure it is also named.

Home/School Diaries are checked weekly by teachers. Please ensure these are signed and reading at home has been recorded.

Topics:

Brainwave – How to be an effective learner
Shake it – Changes of state and making milkshakes!

Homework

Regular spelling shed challenges and TT Rockstars. We expect every child to be reading at least 5 times a week at home and for their home school diary to be signed.

Class Dojo

Please make sure you connect to Class Dojo (link below). We endeavour to post at least once a week something we have been learning about in school. We would really love to hear from you, if your children talk about it at home or any further learning you undertake! Don’t forget, you can see all the Dojo points your child has been awarded (and what for) by looking at reports!

Please speak to us at the end of the day if there’s anything you wish to discuss.

Kind regards,

Mr Taylor, Miss Stanley and Miss Burdett
