Dear Parents/Carers of Year 2 pupil,
RE: Year 2 Curriculum Meeting
Welcome to Year 2! The children have had an excellent first few days back at school and we have been delighted with their attitude towards their learning.
We would like to invite you to our Year 2 Curriculum Meeting which will be held on Wednesday 20th September in the main hall at 3:30pm. In this meeting, we will tell you all about our first topic, Animals and Me, and what the rest of the year has in store.
At Kelvin Grove, we know that your role is crucial in supporting your children to become confident and fluent readers. Not only this, but your dedication to listening to your children read, and sharing stories with them helps them to develop a lifelong love of books. We will be talking to you about home reading expectations this year, how you can support at home, and the use of reading diaries. Books and reading records should be brought to school every day. Reading records and books will be collected on Thursdays, and new books will be sent home on Fridays. New books cannot be sent home until the old ones have been returned.
We will also give you information about:
- Timetabling/P.E
- Home learning
- School trips
Finally, as we move towards autumn, children will need a coat appropriate for the weather. In light drizzle, we still like to take the children out to play so they must have coats. Please remember, it is important that your child does not wear jewellery to school, apart from stud earrings, unless it is for religious reasons. Children are encouraged to bring in reusable water bottles with their names clearly labelled. Please label your child’s jumpers and coats, as they are easier to return to their owners.
PE in Year 2 will be every Wednesday so children should come to school dressed in their PE kits.
We are looking forward to working with you and your child over the course of the year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you,
Year 2 Team
