Welcome to Year 2 Bumblebees!
We hope that you have had a lovely fun filled time away from school and are raring to start year 2. We have a very fun packed year planned for you!
A few messages/ reminders to get us settled into the first few days…
Children will still receive a fruit snack each day although they may bring in their own snack from home, we do encourage healthy snacks where possible please.
Please provide your child with a named water bottle for regular water breaks in class.
Please ensure that all children’s clothing is clearly labelled to avoid them becoming lost.
PE will be on a Wednesday morning- please make sure that PE kits are in school, that earrings are removed and long hair is tied back.
Maths award targets will continue to be tested every other week, please make us aware in your child’s communication book if you have been practising at home.
Children will be read with at least once every other week, as well as being listened to in guided reading sessions. We cannot emphasise the importance of reading at home enough, it is something that needs to be done at home and not just at school. Our expectation is that every child reads at home a minimum of 3 times a week, but obviously the more the better. Your child will be given a communication book. Please can I ask that you write in it when you hear your child read.
Homework will be given out every Wednesday to be completed by the following Wednesday.
Please inform us if someone different is picking your child up at the end of the day. We will not allow children to leave with somebody different unless we have permission from you.
Any questions about anything else, please just ask on the door or email me on mriches@holytrinityhalstead.com
Many thanks,
Miss Riches
