May Is Get Caught Reading Month!

Throughout May, we are celebrating Get Caught Reading Month — a wonderful chance to shine a spotlight on the joy of reading!

We would love your help in capturing our children in the act of reading. Please send in a photo of your child enjoying a book. This could be:

  • Reading in their favourite cosy spot
  • Reading outdoors in the sunshine
  • Reading to a sibling, pet or teddy
  • Reading something unusual or fun (comics, magazines, recipes, signs, etc.)
  • Reading in an unexpected place — creativity encouraged!

You can either:
– Print the photo and send it into school, or
– Email it to your child’s year group email address

We will be creating a lovely display to celebrate all the wonderful readers in our school.

 

Thank you for helping us promote a lifelong love of reading! 📖💛

Year 2 Summer term timetable

Wow, what a half term term!
From retelling The Three Little Pigs, gaining confidence using number lines to add and subtract, recalling facts about historically significant nurses, learning about how plants grow, exploring the sturdiness of structures in DT and much much more… Your children have never failed to amaze us. Well done Year 2! You have definitely earned this two week break to relax and have fun.

 

Also, there was some confusion over the PE days at the end of the day today.
Please check diaries as they are correct! PE days are Mondays and Fridays.
We will also have Outdoor learning on a Friday afternoon so please prepare children for rain, sunshine and everything in between :)

Have a wonderful Easter holiday!

See you soon,
Mrs King and the whole year two team.
