Routines
Welcome to Year 2.
Morning Arrival
- Parents/carers should bring their children into school via the green gate (Year 1) or the main pupil entrance. The children will then say their goodbyes and come straight into school via the double doors into the KS1 atrium or their classroom doors leading to the playground.
- The green gate will be opened at 8.30am by a member of the Year 2 team. Parents of Year 2 children will not be allowed onto the playground.
- The children will make their way into the classroom where they will put their communication diary and water bottles in the correct place after putting their coats and bags on their pegs.
End-of-the-day routines
- School will finish at 3.10pm. Parents/carers should collect their children from the main playground. Please can we ask that parents remain behind the red line when collecting and not by the classroom doors.
- The children will be dismissed from their outside classroom door by a member of the Year 2 team, when their parent has been seen.
Kids Club
If your child is attending Bowerham Kids Club or Casual Club, they will be asked to stay in the classroom until they are picked up by the Kids Club. Please keep staff and Kids Club fully informed if there are any changes to proposed childcare. We also have a casual care club available if needed. More details about the casual care club can be found through the following link:
Homework
All your child’s homework can be found on Showbie in the homework folder.
Task Homework – This is a task that we encourage the children to complete. This will be linked to prior learning or to support the children in their learning for that week.
Often the task homework will be something for you to practise practically or to talk through rather than written work that needs handing in. However, if is does need handing in, it can be submitted in a variety of ways depending on what suits the task. You can choose how you would like to submit it.
Children can can take a photograph of their work and upload it to Showbie.
They could also complete their homework on Showbie using the annotation tools.
They could use different software e.g. MS Word, PowerPoint etc and upload the document from their computer to Showbie.
Maths – A maths activity will be uploaded each week for your child to complete. This will be based on learning they have already completed within school.
Spellings – Each child will be set new spellings every week which are taken from Spelling Shed. They will be taught these spellings throughout the week. At home, we would be grateful if you could support your child to practise their spellings and allow them time to log on to Spelling Shed to learn their spellings in different ways.
Reading – We would like the children to be reading regularly at home throughout the week. They have access to the Bug Club scheme where they are able to log on and explore a range of books and answer questions to support their comprehension.
PE Day
The PE Day for Year 2 is Friday. Children should come to school in their full PE kit and you can find a list of what they will need to wear for PE here.
Library Day
Library books can be changed in the Key Stage 1 library on a Friday (both classes).
