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 trainers and pumps to change into for indoor P.E lessons and the Golden Mile.

Homework

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

-Grammar Booklet (one page to be completed weekly)
- Numbots Practice (we expect the children to log on and use this resource each week)
- Geography Fast Learning Booklet (one page to be completed every 2 weeks- see the timetable in the booklet). - Spellings- Your child's spelling test will take place every Wednesday. New spellings will then be given out on a Thursday with the homework folders. 

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 every Monday 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.

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 Year 6 PALS during their lunchtimes if they choose. This is where the children in Year 6 will be asking them if they would like to take part in sctructured games and activities which they will lead with them.
