Swifts (Year 2)

Swifts are taught by Mrs. Laura Hall with TA support from Miss Lili Hajnal (all day) and Mrs. Karen Allen (afternoons). Miss Sam McDonald teaches the class on Monday mornings whilst Mrs. Hall has PPA release time. 

We have 21 Year 2 children in our class. Our classroom is a nurturing and enjoyable place to learn and we enjoy the many opportunities to share this with our families through the year during our half-termly book looks. 

We have lots of exciting things to look forward to this term, including a trip to the beach as part of our ‘Coasts’ topic.

Our PE days are Monday and Thursday. Please make sure your child has their PE kit, water bottle and reading records in school daily.

Reading is an important part of our learning and we ask that children read at least three times weekly at home and that reading records are signed by parents to show this. Homework will continue to be set on a Thursday and is due in the following Tuesday. This always links to learning we have covered in the classroom during that week. 

This term we are going to be starting a daily spellings and handwriting session. Spellings will be sent home on a  Thursday as part of the homework in place of the previous phonics homework.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the school office.
