Who is in the Year 2 classroom?

In Year 2 Mrs Ladds and Mrs White are our Teachers and Mrs Wheatley is our Teaching Assistant. Miss Parr also works alongside us on a Friday afternoon.

What does my child need to bring to school?

Every day children will require a water bottle, a waterproof coat and an Orchard Primary School book bag. Within your book bag you will need your reading diary and weekly phonics books.

Our PE session in the Autumn Term will be a Tuesday afternoon and children will need to come to school in their PE kits! Within your PE kit you will need an Orchard Primary PE top, appropriate bottoms (shorts and jogging bottoms to choose dependent on the weather), PE pumps / trainers and an additional pair of socks.

What homework will be set in Year 2?

It is an expectation that the children read every school night (at least 5 times a week), practice their spellings ready for Friday's test and timetables for Monday's quiz. In Year 2, we will also be setting four 10-minute challenges each week. These challenges will be sent home on a Friday and will focus on the core areas of the curriculum (reading, writing and maths).

What do I do if I have a question?

Please see Mrs Ladds, Mrs White or Mrs Wheatley at collection if you have a question or query that is easily resolved. If you have an issue or question requiring a more detailed response, it may be best to arrange a meeting by contacting the school office.
