Key Letters

Uniform

In Year 2, children are encouraged to take pride in their appearance and learn the importance of following our school’s uniform expectations. This helps them prepare for the transition into Key Stage 2.

Please note:

Only stud earrings are permitted (no other jewellery, except the Sikh Kara).
Smart watches and large hair bows are not allowed.
On PE days, stud earrings should be removed and a sweatband must be worn over a Kara.
Long hair should be tied back or plaited for health and safety reasons.

For full uniform and PE kit guidelines, please click here.

Thank you for your continued support.

PE Days

PE takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday for each class. Children must come to school dressed in full PE kit on their PE day.

Home Learning

Reading

Daily reading plays a vital role in your child’s development. Please support your child by encouraging reading as part of their regular home routine. It is important for all children to read every day.

Also, ensure that you sign their Reading Record every day.

Books to Enjoy: For Your Child to Read or for You to Read Aloud

Your child also has access to Active Learn, where they can use Bug Club to support their reading and comprehension online.

Homework

Year 2 homework will include daily reading and weekly spellings which will be given out every Friday. Please practise these words each week with your child.

Thank you for your continued support with home learning.
