The children will be keeping their reading book in school all week and bringing their book home on a Friday in order to read to the adults at home. They will  be encouraged to read other books/materials at home throughout the week as well.

The Peters Books website still has a suggested list of reading books categorised by year groups and a set of downloadable activities for children to complete based on different books.

The National Oak Academy is currently updating its pages and will have various reading activities for the children to do.

Have a look at the links below.

Hello!

We are so very excited to see you and hear all about your summer holidays! We just wanted to run through a few things that you may need to know for returning to school on Thursday.

As you come to school, you will wait on the main playground outside Base 3 or 4 until your teacher lets you inside. You will be shown your seat, put your coat on the back of your chair, lunchbox underneath your chair, water bottle on the table and go to wash your hands in the shared area. Our teaching assistants, Miss O and Miss Pearson, will help you with this. Once you have washed your hands, you will start some mindful colouring at your table whilst you wait for your friends to arrive. We will spend this week getting to know each other, catching up with friends and settling back in to school. We won’t be using the lockers so you only need to bring your water bottle, lunch box (if you are wanting a packed lunch from home) and your coat.

P.E – you will wear your P.E kit to school on the days we do P.E. We will try to get outside as much a possible so always dress for outdoor P.E. Year 2 P.E days are Monday and Tuesday.

For your homework and spelling information, please see the relevant Year 2 sections on the website.

We cannot wait to see you in the morning!

Miss Gilbert and Mrs Parrish

September Changes for Parents and Children

I have loved being your teacher, I wish it could have been for longer! Here is a goodbye letter from me to you:

End of year letter to children – Base 4

Mrs Nightingale

End of year letter to children – Base 3

The time I spent with you was short and sweet,

But I thought that time was such a treat.

This school year will go down in history,

So we will be the class of pure mystery.

We never got to finish our year together,

But I will cherish the time we spent forever!

I just want to thank you for all your hard work this year in Base 3. I am so sorry that you haven’t been able to finish Year 2 with me, but we certainly have lots of great memories to remember! We loved visiting Chester Zoo to see all the animals and RAF Cosford to look at the fascinating planes. You made me very proud of your behaviour and interest on these visits. You also performed fantastically in our Christmas play and we always had lots of dancing and singing in the classroom too (not just from me)!

I am so proud with how brave you have been during this very strange time and I thank you for working so hard at home. In Year 3, you will continue to work as problem solvers, artists, engineers, mathematicians, story writers and be wonderful, inquisitive learners.

I wish you a super summer holidays but please stay safe and make sure you have lots of fun!

Love from

Miss Gilbert and the Year 2 team xx
