Teachers – Miss Chelsea Burrows and Mr Baxter
Dear Parents,
Please see the curriculum map below (which was emailed with this letter) as it will inform you about everything Class 2 will be learning this term.
Teaching Timetable
Just a reminder to all parents that Miss Burrows will teaching in Class 2 Monday to Thursday lunch time and Mr Baxter will be teaching Thursday afternoon and all day Friday.
Homework
We would like to say a massive thank you for all of the support you are giving the children with their homework and spelling, it does not go unnoticed and is evident in their progress and discussions we have in our lessons. Please remind the children to bring their books in every Wednesday as this is when there will be an opportunity for them to share their homework with an adult. We will then send the books home again on Wednesday night, so they can continue the rest of their work at home.
Reading
We are pleased to say that almost all of our children have achieved at least 3 or more non-uniform days as a result of their motivation and perseverance with their reading. Well done Class 2 – we are so proud of you and all of the progress you have made. Keep it up! Please do read with your child every evening. You can use one of the multiple books sent home each week or can use books that you have at home. It makes such a difference to their reading in all curriculum areas if they are heard at home regularly. As you know the children have reading records and when your child has collected 25 signatures (from an adult or themselves to say they have read) they will be awarded with a non-school uniform day. Your child can choose when to take this, so they may like to do it on their own or with their friends who have also received 25 signatures. The children have really thrived from this incentive and has really motivated them to read regularly. Thank you for all of your support with this scheme!
PE
On Thursdays and Fridays the children will need to come into school in their PE kit. For this half term the children will be either inside or outside for both of their PE lessons, so please ensure your child comes to school in the correct PE kit.
Water bottles, Book Bags, Snacks and Jumpers
Please ensure that your child brings these items into school with them every day and that they are labelled. If your child arrives without these items on a regular basis then we will contact you to request that they are brought into school.
Class 2 Trip to Bicton Botanical Gardens
As mentioned in the curriculum map, the children will have the opportunity to visit Bicton Botanical Gardens on Wednesday 8th March. A formal letter will be sent out to you with all of the key information but some key reminders are:
- The trip will be during the school day, so drop off and collection times remain the same.
- Your child will need to wear comfortable clothes and shoes but will also need to bring their school jumper.
- Your child will need a back pack with a named water bottle and snack
- Your child may bring their own packed lunch from home or you may order one from the school office. Please note lunches will need to be ordered no later than Wednesday 1st
Thank you for your ongoing support,
Miss Burrows and Mr Baxter
