Important Things to Know
P.E. Kit
Our P.E. lessons are on Tuesdays and Fridays. Children need to come to school dressed in their P.E. kits, therefore they do not need to keep a P.E. kit in school.
As a reminder, this is
Navy shorts.
Red Worplesdon T-shirt. A plain red t-shirt is acceptable.
Trainers for outdoor games lessons.
Navy tracksuit for outdoor games lessons.
Please avoid sending your child to school wearing earrings on P.E. days.
Homework
In Year 2, we place great importance on developing children’s reading and maths fluency. Each week, we expect all children to complete 4 signed reads at home and at least 30 minutes of Numbots practice.
The children are expected to complete a minimum of four signed reads per week in their reading diary.
Please work on the children’s comprehension skills as well as their word reading skills.
Reading
Reading diaries should be in school each day to record any reading we do in school.
We expect to see four signed reads per week.
