ST JOHN'S SCHOOL VALUES:


Love; Friendship; Kindness; Honesty; Forgiveness

 

Welcome to Class 2!

Welcome to Year 2!

I’m looking forward to a wonderful start to the year and getting to know you all. Here’s to a year of amazing learning.

In the classroom this year your teacher will be Mrs Firminger. Mrs Hardisty and Miss Lyttle will be your teaching assistants.

You will bring your reading book home every day. Please read to a grownup at home at least 3 times a week and ask them to sign your reading record. You will start visiting the key stage 1 library on Thursdays where you can choose a library book to take home for a week. Library books must be in school every Thursday.

Outdoor PE will be on a Tuesday and indoor PE will be on a Thursday. Remember to remove your earrings for these days or come to school with them covered by a plaster.

Keep checking Tapestry and the school website to see photographs of all the exciting learning taking place in year 2.
