Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Year 2

From everyone in the Year 2 team, we’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We’d like to thank you for your consistent support, kind words and efforts with learning at home.

We really hope you enjoyed the nativity as much as we did! We were extremely proud of each and every one of them. What confident performers they were!

A few reminders for the New year for Spring term.

PE days – Monday-outdoors  and  Wednesday– indoors – please ensure children come to school on these days wearing the correct PE uniform.

Outdoor learning – Thursday– please ensure children bring suitable footwear and a change of bottoms to school (clearly labelled) as they will change in school.

The children will be expected to be reading at least 3 or more times a week, practising their spellings daily and their times table homework.

Times tables will be tested each Wednesday and their new homework practise sheet will be given out on a Friday with their spellings. The children will move onto the next set of times tables when they are confident with the inverse and speed.

Have a well earned rest and we can’t wait to see the children on 8th January ready for another exciting half term of learning.

The Year 2 team.

Year 2 – changes to timetable

Good afternoon, 

Just some updates to Year 2 this half term.

Monday 20th November, we have a Guy Fawkes day – children do not need anything extra but will hopefully come back with lots to tell you about our history day.

We have our cinema trip Wednesday morning therefore PE has swapped to Thursday afternoon. Children will therefore need PE kits Thursday and Friday next week and normal school uniform Monday-Wednesday.

In year 2, we alternate outdoor learning every half term. We completed outdoor learning before half term, therefore, we do not have another outdoor learning session until after the Christmas holiday. We will have outdoor learning again in January but until then please do not send any kits in.

NATIVITY
We are SO excited to start rehearsing our Nativity!

Children have all been given a part. We have tried to give most children a speaking part and have sent scripts home for them to rehearse. Can you insure these remain in reading diary packs as we may need them to practise in school?  

We will send details out about costumes at a later date but will help children with any part of the costume that is difficult to source.

If you wish to discuss your child’s role, please email via the year 2 address (newdale.year2team@taw.org.uk). 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!

See you Monday,

Year 2 team.
