Uniform Standards Uniform Standards Children should wear smart school uniform or their P.E. kits on P.E. days. We have P.E. on a Monday and a Wednesday, so children should come to school in their P.E. kit on these days. We try to encourage children to take responsibility for their belongings and it is much easier when everything is named. Long hair must be tied up and any bows/hairbands etc should be in school colours
Year 2 Homework Year 2 Homework Homework is designed to support and consolidate the learning in class with a focus on basic skills. Tasks may sometimes be repetitive or timed and this is to increase pace and embed learning. We will be setting homework online , this has started from this week. We will continue to use the homework grid system that the children have used for their Homework. 20 minutes for a task, reasonably independently. Math homework will be set on My Maths. Your login details are the same as when the children were in year 1. Children have been given 4 books to read per week. They still have access to Bug Club online. This is a useful resource to practice their comprehension skills.
