   In Math's we will be learning our 2,3,5 and 10 times table in year 2. A great way to practice these is by accessing TT Rockstars.  https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth

Dojo's -

Children will earn a Dojo point every time they read!

The minimum expectation for reading is 3x a week. Reading books will be changed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. 

Every time you read with your child you will need to sign and date in their reading record. 

At the end of each term the children will spend their dojo points at the school dojo bank, which is full of wonderful prizes. 

Reading books can also be accessed via Oxford Reading Buddy https://www.oxfordreadingbuddy.com/uk

 A few important messages! 

Uniform - Can all children please be in school in suitable black shoes and complete uniform. Grey skirt/trousers or dress, white shirt and burgundy jumper/cardigan. 

Our PE day is Monday. PE kit should consist of a white t-shirt with black, grey or navy trousers or shorts. 

Head Lice - In order to keep head lice at bay please check your child nearly every day. 

Water bottles - We would like all children to have an appropriate bottle containing water in school daily. 

Safeguarding
 

As part of our PSHE lessons we discuss the importance of the PANTS rule with the children. The link below directs you to the NSPCC official site and a video explaining the PANTS rule and its importance for young people. https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/support-for-parents/pants-underwear-rule/
