PE - Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday however these do change so please make sure children bring their PE kits to school on a Monday and we will send them home on Friday.
Reading diaries - Reading is dreaming with open eyes! Please make sure children have their reading diaries in school every day. They will put their diaries in a box in the classroom every morning and these will be checked for reading signatures at least every other day. Please read at least 4 times a week with your child. Each signature will go towards our whole class reward.
Spellings - Spellings will be stuck in your child's reading diary every Friday. All words are linked to the year 2 curriculum and spelling rules. The children will have a spelling challenge the following Friday.
Homework - Homework grids will be stuck in homework books every half term. Please try and complete one piece a week. We will celebrate homework every Monday in class.
