P.E Lessons

During Autumn Term 1, Year 2's PE days will be Monday and Thursday. The children will need to come to school wearing their Norwood PE kit on these days - plain white t shirt, navy shorts, joggers or leggings, navy plain sweatshirt or hoodie and black trainers. Your child will also need a pair of black pumps, left in school, 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 if they wish.

Homework

Homework at Norwood.

At Norwood, we are passionate about supporting you as much as possible with your child's education. We are also very aware that homework can be a struggle for many of you at home. This year we have tried to simplify our approaches and also save money and waste. Instead of sending home lots of booklets and worksheets, each child will have an exercise book that they can use to support their homework. Any passcodes for Numbots/Times Tables Rockstars, will be stuck on the front cover of the book, so children can easily access any websites used by school.

Every THURSDAY a homework powerpoint will be shared on Class Dojo. This will explain the homework that needs to be completed that week and covers SPELLING, MATHS and GEOGRAPHY FAST LEARNING.

On TUESDAY every week, homework books need to be returned to school, in order for staff to check learning.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask

Reading

We expect the children to read at least 3 times a week and for this to be recorded in their reading records. Book Nook books will be changed every Monday, if the children bring in their previous book. School reading books will be changed on the day that's written on the back of your child's reading record.

Forest Schools

These sessions will be taking place on;

2M- Monday 9th October 2023

2H- Tuesday 10th October 2023

2B- Wednesday 11th October 2023

Exciting Opportunities

The children in Year 2 will be given the opportunity to learn the ukulele! This will form part of their Music curriculum and they are already showing great enthusiasm during these lessons.

The children in Year 2 will be taking part in several trips this year: The Maritime Musuem Liverpool (The Titanic), The Synagogue (Judaism) and Formby Beach (Geography)
