Class Routines

In the morning, I will greet the children on my door from 8:45.  The children will start the day with spellings and therefore, it is really important that they arrive promptly please. 

After this, the children's morning lessons will consist of Maths, Reading and Handwriting , Class read and English followed by Mastering Number and foundation subjects in the afternoon.

Break time is at 11:00-11:15 and Lunch is from 12:15 -13:15.

At the end of the day (3.15 pm), I will bring the children out into the playground, where you will be able to collect them. Please let the office know if there is someone different picking up your child or if you are delayed in any way.

Reading

Children will need to bring their reading books into school every day. For the children who are no longer on the phonics scheme, they may choose a coloured book band book which can then be changed after a couple of times of reading the whole story through. I will guide them in this process, but the responsibility to change their book is up to them. Children who are on the Little Wandle scheme will continue to have their book changed as they did when they were in Year 1.

Below, you can find the link to the recommended reading books for Year 2.

PE

Our PE days are Monday and Thursday afternoons. Please ensure that your children bring their PE kits in on a Monday, These should be fully named and appropriate for all weather types. Earrings and watches will need to be removed for the PE lessons and long hair tied back. If earrings can't be removed, please can you provide your child with some tape to cover up the studs.

The children will need blue/black PE shorts, a white T-shirt, trainers, spare socks and a tracksuit and jumper for when it turns colder, as PE will still take place outside whatever the weather! 

Water Bottles, Snack  and Lunch

Please make sure your child has a named water bottle in school every day. They are kept in the water bottle box, can be refilled throughout the day and are taken out at break and lunchtime. If you provide a snack for your child, please ensure they are healthy and named where possible. Also, please remember to help us uphold our ‘No Nuts or Sesame' policy. Do check the ingredients carefully as some products have ground nuts in them that you may not have realised — such as Pick Up bars!

School lunches can be ordered two weeks in advance on the school meals website. Children in Key Stage 1 are all entitled to a free school lunch, and we provide fruit for the children at break time.

Equipment

All stationary will be provided for your child in school. However, the children will also need access to paper and writing materials at home, for some of their homework. Please do not allow your child to bring in toys, games, or little extras. They may bring an appropriate watch especially if they know how to tell the time. 

Homework

It is so important for your children to be heard read as often as possible as well as for them to start learning their times tables. As a result, I ask that you read with your child daily for 10 minutes and that they practise on Times Tables Rockstars at least 3 times a week.

With kind regards,

Miss Harris
