Autumn 1

This term, the children will be developing their writing skills by practising how to write clear sentences. In Maths, they will be learning about place value and exploring how numbers are represented. In Science, we will be learning about living things and their habitats. In PSHE, the children will explore the theme of Being Me, thinking about themselves, their feelings and what makes them special. In Geography, we will investigate Why Is Our World Wonderful?, exploring the amazing places and features of our world. In Faith and Belief, we will learn about Who is God to Christians?, exploring Christian beliefs and ideas about God.

Welcome to Year 2!

We are split into 2 classes - Robins with Mrs Lloyd and Mrs Sgorlon, and Puffins with Miss Newstead. 

Useful information and reminders:

Drop offs and pick up times:

The KS1 gate will be open from 8.45am, and the school day will begin at 8.55am for all pupils. After this time, the gate will be closed. 

The end of the school day will be at 3.15pm for KS1. 

Children should enter and leave through the KS1 gate beside the BACHS centre. As we are sure you can appreciate, the beginning and end of the school day is a very busy time for teachers.  If you wish to speak to the class teacher and it is not immediately urgent, please contact the school office and arrange a scheduled appointment with your child's class teacher.  You are also welcome to send an email or leave a voicemail message to our office.

School equipment needed from home:

Children may continue to bring a named WM bookbag to school (not rucksacks).  Please remember, children should not be bringing pencil cases, toys (including fidgits), cards etc to school.  Please ensure children have an outdoor coat and wellies in school at all times; these need to be clearly named. Children will also need a fruit/veg snack for Monday-Friday break time. Please remember we are a nut free school. They will also need a named drink bottle for water each day. 

We are very much looking forward to spending the next part of your child's school journey with them this year. 

Sharing and celebrating learning:

Tapestry will be the main platform that is used to share learning with you, so please check Tapestry regularly where you can view photos and see what has been happening in the classroom. This is a great way to start conversation and celebrate your child's achievements with them.  Teachers may also choose to share learning and positive messages via our West Monkton Facebook page and school website.
