Week 4 complete, our first full week in a while. Thank you for all parents who attended our PE Come and Learn session. We hope you thoroughly enjoyed getting physical with your children and it gave you some ideas to have a go at home!
In English we have written an unbalanced argument about why we should ban the dark. The children enjoyed coming up with their argument and gave some compelling opinions. In Maths we have finalised our fractions learning with problem solving and reasoning. We also looked at 2/3 and ¾. The children needed to understand the importance of each ‘number’ in the fraction to work it out. The numerator (top number) tells you how many circles to count at the end and the denominator (bottom number), tells you how many sharing circles to share by.

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.
