Dear Parents,

Christmas with the Aliens Concert – The children have been working really hard for their Christmas concert next week and we look forward to welcoming you to watch it on Wednesday 13th December at 2 o’clock in the school hall.  Please remember to bring your two tickets.

Church Visit – Our Year 2 children will be going to St Martin’s church on Wednesday 13th at 11 o’clock (until approx. 12 o’clock) to watch the Year 5’s Christmas service dress rehearsal.  We need lots of adults to accompany the children to the church so please let us know if you are able to come with us.

 

Infant Christmas Party – Please remember to send in some food for the Christmas party on Thursday 14th December.  The children can wear party clothes but will need footwear suitable for running around in.

Mrs Ash’s Class – Small cakes, chocolate biscuits

Mrs Ashworth’s Class- Sausage rolls, cocktail sausages, cheese rolls  etc

Mrs Page’s Class – Sandwiches

(Please remember no nuts)

 

Last Day of Term – On the last day of term (Tuesday 19 December) children can wear a Christmas jumper / Christmas accessories / or anything Christmassy for a donation of 50p which will go to LEPRA.

School finishes at 1 o’clock on this day so the children will not need lunch but can bring in a larger mid-morning snack.

Phonics Homework  – Due to timetable disruptions this week there will be no spellings homework today.  The children will get their last list of the year next week.

 

Thank you for all your help and support this term.

We hope you have a really lovely Christmas.

Mrs Ash, Mrs Ashworth and Mrs Page

Weekly note- 4th December 2017

Dear Parents/Carers,

Maths
Next week we shall be naming 3d shapes and exploring their properties using mathematical language such as ‘faces’ ‘vertices’ ‘flat’ and ‘curved.’ To help your child with this, you could challenge your child to look for and describe 3d shapes in everyday objects which you may have around the home. We shall also be thinking about measuring weight, using weighing scales and introducing weight measurement terms such as ‘gram’ and ‘kilogram’ and finding objects that are heavier and lighter than these units of weight.

Christmas Fayre
The PTA Christmas Fayre is on Thursday 7th December from 1.30 – 4.00. You can collect your child from their class at 2.15 to take them to the fayre.
If possible, the PTA are asking Year 2 families to provide items of food with a use by date which is later than the 8th December to make up hampers which will then be used as raffle prizes.

Christmas Concert
Just a reminder that your child should have come home with two tickets for the Year 2 Christmas Concert (‘Christmas with the Aliens’) today. The rehearsals for the concert are going brilliantly and the children are doing a fantastic job. If your child has come home with lines to learn, please could they continue to practise saying them in a loud, clear voice. Thank you for all your help with this!

Colouring Books
We have had lots of wet playtimes recently and there are still some children without a colouring book to colour. Please could you ensure your child has a colouring book that they can keep in their tray for rainy days – thank you.

Nut Allergy- Mrs Page’s Class
Just a reminder that we have someone with a severe nut allergy in Mrs Page’s class. Please could you ensure that all packed lunches are nut-free. Many thanks.

Thank you for your continued support,
The Year 2 team
