Friday 9^th January

Welcome Back!

We’re thrilled to kick off a crisp and frosty Spring term, with just a touch of sunshine to brighten our days! We hope you enjoyed a wonderful winter break and managed to squeeze in some rest and recovery—though we know it’s often the busiest holiday of all.

The children have returned to school brilliantly, settling back into routines and expectations with ease. This term, we’re raising the bar even higher! Our goal is to challenge every child to reach their full potential, and we can’t wait to see them flourish.

In English, we’ve started a new text—Roald Dahl’s classic The Twits—and are diving into character descriptions.
In Maths, we’ve begun our Money unit. This can be a tricky unit since physical coins and notes are less common these days, so we’d love your support at home! Please encourage your child to handle real money where possible to build confidence. We’re focusing on coin recognition, understanding value, and making amounts in different ways.

Here’s to an exciting term of learning and growth!

PE – Our PE days are still Monday and Friday.

Monday: outdoor Invasion Games
Friday: Gymnastic in the hall where the children will remove socks and shoes so please dress appropriately.

 

Home Learning

Please can you encourage your child to hand their home learning in when they have completed it. In Year 2 we do not go through book bags and collect their belongings, we are teaching the children independence and they need to remember.

Chatterbox and Class Bears

Please can we also ask that chatterbox and class bears are returned by Thursday to share with the class.

Reading Books and Reading Records

Please can you ensure your child has their yellow reading record and school reading book on a Friday for book change.

As always, our door is open. Please come and see us if you would like to discuss anything further.

Alternatively, we have a year group email year2@wbis.org.uk

Have a lovely weekend! 😊
