P.E Lessons

Year 2's PE days are Monday and Thursday. The children will need to come to school wearing their Norwood PE kit on these days. Your child will also need a pair of black pumps to change into for indoor P.E lessons and can leave an extra pair of trainers in school to change into for the Golden Mile. 

Homework

The children have been given a red homework folder. This needs to be returned to school on a Tuesday and new homework will be given on a Thursday. Homework will include;

• Numbots Practice/Maths Homework booklet
• Geography Fast Learning Booklet (one page completed weekly)
• Spellings- Spelling booklets will now be kept at home. There is a set of spellings to practise for each week and the children will be tested on these each term. 

Reading

We expect the children to read at least 3 times a week and for this to be recorded in their reading records. Library books will be changed Tuesday - 2P, Wednesday - 2H, Thursday - 2B and school reading books will be changed on the day that's written on the back of your child's reading record. Please refer to the the 'Reading at home' documents attached for further information.
