Year 2 Updates

Monday 28th September 2020

The timetable for changing books can be found at the bottom of this page.

Red and Blue teams change books on Monday and Thursday

Yellow and Green teams change books on Tuesday and Friday

It would be great to try and keep to these days wherever possible, however the children can change them on other days if needed.

I will try to remind the groups of their days to begin with but as the children develop more independence they should be able to do this without reminders.

Hello everyone!

I can't believe how quickly the weeks are passing!

The children are still doing amazingly well at settling back into school but as expected lots of them have been finding school quite tough.

We had a big chat last week about how it was ok to feel anxious at the moment and how lots of us are feeling that way. We read a great book together called The Invisible String and I have put a link below so that you can share it at home if you wish to.

The children also came up with lists of things they enjoy at home and would possibly like to do in school so we will build these opportunities into our recovery curriculum over the coming weeks.

Please keep talking to your children at home and if you have any concerns, worries or questions please do email me on the class email address.

Just a few reminders:-

Some children have bits of their PE kit missing. Please can you check that your child has everything they need.

Reading books need to be brought into school every day. I will be starting a rota for book changing to help the children to be more independent and change their books, as many of the children are forgetting to do this. However please make sure your child can fluently read their book and can answer lots of questions about what they have read, before they change it.
