Welcome to Year 2 

onverting

Your teachers are Miss May, Mr Knight, Miss Joller and Miss Malone!     

This letter contains some key information as you enter year 2.

What shall I bring to school?   

Please bring a water bottle every day! There is no need to bring a PE kit, just wear PE clothes on your PE day. Please don’t bring toys. You can bring fruit for snack time!

When is my PE day?

Both year two classes will have PE indoors on a Tuesday and outdoors on a Thursday. Wear your PE clothes to school on these days and remember your water bottle! During the winter months, bring lots of layers and warm clothes.

What about reading books?

Reading books are changed every Friday so please make sure you have your bag. Each child will have 2 books. One of these will be a decodable book that the children can read independently. We use these books to support children in developing fluency in reading (so they don't need to sound out lots of words), so we encourage them to read them at least 3 times. They can hear themselves as a reader this way. The other book children will bring home will be a picture book or non fiction book they have chosen for interest. Children are not expected to read this independently; this book is to share and enjoy with an adult or older sibling.

As always, we are happy to answer questions, so feel free to come and find us at the end of the day!

Kind Regards,

The Year 2 team.
