Dear Parents/Carers,

Bringing home books

We shall be sending books home from the beginning of the week. To ensure that these arrive home in good condition please can your child bring a few plastic carrier bags which they can leave in their tray until needed. The only books that will not be coming home this term are your child’s last literacy book, sketch book and special book as these move with them into Year 3.

Reports

Your child will be bringing home their report on Monday 16th July.  Please can you sign and return the receipt slip by Wednesday 18th July. Attached to the report you will find a summary sheet with your child’s levels of attainment  for the end of Key Stage 1. Unlike the other subjects, science is levelled either 1,2 or 3; there are no A/B/C sub levels.

Mr Shack’s class

At some point next week Mr Shack will be in school so the children in his class will have the opportunity to meet him.

End of Term reminders

  • Please could all banded and library books be returned to school by Monday 16th July.
  • School finishes at 1pm on Thursday 19th July. The children will not need lunch but may  bring an additional snack (alongside their break time fruit) if they wish to do so.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with your children and look forward to following their progress as they move into Year 3.

Thank you for all your support over the year. We wish you an enjoyable summer holiday.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Class Transition

We hope the children enjoyed their time with their new teacher today. They will be having their second transition session with their new class teacher and in their new classroom during the morning of Monday 9th July. This will be another opportunity to familiarise the children with their new Year 3 setting.

Sponsored Swim

We were very proud of the effort the Year 2 children put in during their Sponsored swims this week. If there are any Sponsored Swim forms or money to come back please could they be returned to the school office or your child’s class teacher as soon as possible. Thank you.

Spellings

Phonic lessons have been a little disrupted today due to visits to the new Year 3 classes. As a result spelling lists will not come home until next Tuesday.

Mrs Page’s Last Day

We will be sorry to say goodbye to Mrs Page next Friday but wish her well as she begins her maternity leave. For the last 2 weeks of term her class will be taught by Mrs Arklie.

Many thanks for your continued support

Thank you so much for attending our Year 2 Pirate Day- the children all had a fabulous time and it was lovely to see you all joining in the activities with the children.

Sponsored Swim

Your child should have come home with a sponsored swim form for our Sponsored Swim which will be taking place in your child’s usual swimming lesson during the week beginning 25th June. You are more than welcome to come and support your child and watch them swim.

Sports Day

Our Infant Sports Day is taking place this Monday (18th June) at 1.15pm. Please feel free to come and cheer on your child in their sports activities. Please be reminded that children must come in to school with sun cream already applied and with a sunhat and a named water bottle. The children come to school on Monday wearing their sports clothes and each class has been asked to wear a different colour top:

Fingers crossed for nice weather!

Maths

This week we will be looking at finding quarters, halves and three quarters of simple shapes and doubling and halving numbers which will also involve using this knowledge to problem solve.

Sunhats

As the weather is improving we are now able to eat outside at lunchtime. The children must have a hat in school, particularly if they stay for lunch. If you have any hats at home that are not being used we would be very pleased to add them to our collection of spare hats.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Pirate Day

We are looking forward to some pirate fun on Thursday 14th June. If possible please come along at 1.30 pm and take part in some pirate related activities with your child. Children may come to school dressed as pirates on this day.

Swimming

Mrs Ashworth’s class will not swim next Thursday.

Sport your Trainers Day/Race for Life event

Next Friday 15th June, the school Council are organising a joint event to raise money for two charities.

As a school we get a huge amount of support from the Sports Commission who organise various sporting events throughout the school. The school council would like to support their charity and have arranged for everyone to come to school next Friday, wearing PE kit instead of uniform. All donations for this event will go to this charity.

Then after school they have organised our very own Race for Life community event to raise money for Cancer Research. It would be great if your child and any other members of the family are able to take part. Your child should have brought home a sign up form which also gives more details regarding timings of the event.

Children taking part will need to be collected as normal  at the end of the day and taken to the event which will be taking place on the Infant field.

Spellings

As next week is going to be very busy with pirate activities and also a visit to watch the whole school performance of the Pied Piper, our phonic lessons will be little disrupted. Therefore there will be no spelling set again until Friday 22nd June.

Advance notice

Infant Sports Day will take place on the afternoon of Monday 18th June.
Many thanks for your continued support.

Year 2 Weekly Note – 21.5.18

Dear Parents/Carers,

Maths
Next week the children will be having an assessment week in Maths where we will be covering lots of different mathematical areas covered over the course of the year.

Walk to School Week- A reminder
Next week we are taking part in ‘Walk to School Week’ and we are encouraging children to walk to school. This is to help promote a healthy mind and body and hopefully encourage walking/cycling to school on a regular basis. The children will be bringing home a healthy walking activity diary and can collect stickers for each day that they walk. Please note that if walking the whole way to school is not possible, children can still collect stickers for walking a part of the way.

EPIC Week
Next week is Epic week! Your children should have by now, all come home with a letter explaining what their activity for the week will be. Please read this carefully as it may be necessary for you to provide something extra for the week eg extra clothes, swimming kit, apron etc depending on their assigned activity.Thank you. These activities will be taking place every afternoon, culminating in a whole school celebration on the field with a parade and an ice-cream on Friday.

Swimming
Please vote that Mrs Ash and Mrs Page’s classes will not be swimming next Friday due to Epic Week.

Half Term
A reminder that this half term finishes on Friday 25th May at the usual time. We wish you all a lovely week’s holiday and we look forward to seeing the children again on the 4th June.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Maths

Next week the children will be learning to describe position and direction using the vocabulary of right, left, clockwise and anti clockwise. We will then be moving onto coordinates which will be  linked to our Pirate topic.

Literacy

During literacy lessons the children will be researching what life was like as a pirate, the jobs they had to do and what life was like on board the ships.

Spelling Books

Please could all spelling books be returned to school on Thursdays so that the new spelling lists can be stuck in ready for your child to take home on Friday. If your child does not have their book in school we will give them the list which will hopefully make its way home! If you could stick it into the book that would be really helpful.

Walk to School Week

During the week beginning 21st May, we are taking part in ‘Walk to School Week’ and are encouraging children to walk to school (even if it is just some of the way). This is to help promote a healthy mind and body and hopefully encourage walking/cycling to school on a regular basis. The children will be bringing home a healthy walking activity diary and can collect stickers for each day that they walk.

EPIC Week

We are busy planning an ‘Epic week’ for the children which will take place during the week commencing 21st May. During these afternoons, staff will be offering a range of exciting activities such as musical theatre, outdoor activities, epic experiments, fun with clay, sewing, ball skills, or trips to the GSPCA to look at animal welfare. The children will be working with peers from Y3 (and occasionally other year groups) and we hope that they will have lots of fun alongside learning a range of new skills.On the final Friday of Epic week, we will have a whole school parade around the field, celebrate successes and enjoy an ice cream.

Decider Skills

We are introducing these skills to the children in class and finding them really valuable in helping them recognise and deal with emotions and situations which may result in negative feelings or actions.

There was a very successful parent and carers information evening explaining this programme which you may have already attended. If you missed this evening, there will be an opportunity to attend  on 22nd May at 3.15-4.30pm in the music drama room. There will be a crèche for children in the main hall. Please let the school know if you would like to come and if you need a space in the crèche. For more information visit: http://www.thedecider.org.uk/

Many thanks for your continued support
