Weekly News 

4th July 2025

 

What a scorching week! The children were amazing and coped so well in these circumstances.

We had lots of happy faces after the move up morning over at the junior school and it was great for the children to experience learning in their new classrooms and to get to know their new school.

 

In English this week, the children wrote a letter to their new teacher, telling them all about themselves. The children really enjoyed this activity and it has helped with the positive transition we are promoting.

 

In Maths this week the children have been learning about tally charts, bar graphs and interpreting data. The children really enjoyed this learning and creating ‘gates’ tally of 5.

 

Please provide your children with a BIG, STURDY bag on Friday 11th July for them to bring home all of their learning books and SATS papers.

 

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! 😊

Curriculum

During Year 2 at West Byfleet Infant School, the aim is to provide all children with engaging and enjoyable learning opportunities and experiences across every area of the curriculum. We are a happy team of dedicated staff, who enjoy working together to achieve the very best. We spend a lot of time throughout the year building up strong and positive relationships with all children, ensuring that we know them as individuals and they have a strong sense of belonging to their class, year group and school family.

 

We feel that children are happiest and most motivated when they learn in an environment that is supportive, nurturing and positive. We set inspiring challenges and have high expectations of their learning. Our continued assessment and planning allow all children to receive an individualised curriculum allowing them to feel success at every stage of their learning. Our breadth of planning allows children in Year 2 to gain skills and understanding within a broad, balanced and inspiring curriculum. 

 

Learning Environment

Our classrooms reflect the current learning, using working walls as a way of supporting the children. These working walls are updated throughout the week and provide resources to underpin their learning. Children can refer to these throughout the week to clarify their thinking. Children access learning resources during all lessons to help support their learning. We encourage children to independently select the resource that enables them to flourish in their learning

Communication Trail

We are a very approachable team.  If you have any concerns and would like to discuss your child, please come and see your child's class teacher.  We can usually solve simple problems or queries for you quite quickly.  Nothing surprises or shocks us anymore - we've seen and heard most things before!!!  Please see below the communication trail:

  • Class Teacher - At the beginning or end of the day or email year2@wbis.org.uk
  • Year 2 Lead - Sophie Pugh - email year2@wbis.org.uk
  • Head Teacher - Mrs Stacey Clarke -email office@wbis.org.uk

 

Please make sure that you use the communication trail to ensure that the right people can help you.
