You can find out what we are currently learning on our Curriculum Newsletter.
About our class
In 2 Yew, we are a team! We work together, with the support and guidance of the adults, to be the best we can be. We support and celebrate each other’s achievements and we are proud when we accomplish something new. We follow our St Peter’s & Clifton SPIRIT in all we do and we will be recognised and celebrated when showing these school values.
Homework expectations
PE
PE will take place on a Wednesday and Thursday this half term. The children will be taking part in Fundamental movement sessions on a Wednesday with Mrs Gallagher and on Thursday will be learning how to play Tag Rugby with Mrs Gallagher and the PE coach.
Reading
Reading is extremely important to children of all ages, but during Year 2, you will notice significant changes in your child’s reading fluency and comprehension as they become more independent. There are numerous things we as a school do to support children’s reading and coupled with support from home, their progress accelerates momentously.
Physical Education
The children should bring their PE kit in a bag and will get changed for PE at school on these days.
Kit required for P.E:
Boys - White T-shirt and black shorts and trainers for outdoor games during summer and winter months. Warm navy/black tracksuit and trainers for outdoor games during the winter months.
Girls - White T-shirt, black shorts or cycling shorts and trainers for outdoor games during summer and winter months. Warm navy/black tracksuit and trainers for outdoor games during the winter months.
Please note earrings must be removed for PE or covered by tape provided by the parent.
Behaviour
Our behaviour policy in school is very positive. Our class charter follows 'ready, respectful and safe' as the guiding principles for how we behave in school. We love rewarding good choices and hard work; we offer certificates for Writer, Reader, Mathematician and Spirit Star of the week. The children also earn house points, stickers, special messages home and a chance to take home Everywhere Bear each week.
Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to a brilliant year,
Mrs Gallagher and Mrs Pap.
