Year 2
There are three Year 2 classes and each class has a full time teaching assistant. During their time in Year 2, we encourage the children to become more independent and strive to do their very best.
Every morning, the children have an English and Maths lesson. These are taught within their individual classes.

PE days
On a carousel day, pupils will spend the afternoon doing art, computing and PE. These are taught by specialist teachers. Pupils also have an additional PE day which is taught by their class teacher. On Carousel and PE days, please send children to school in their school PE kit. Children will be asked to tie long hair back and remove all jewellery for PE lessons.
- Carousel day for year 2: Monday
- PE day for year 2: Friday
Trips
Pupils will experience two trips in Year 2. They will visit Selly Manor in the Autumn term to enhance their learning about the Great Fire of London. This is an interactive session where the children can be immersed into 1666 and experience what it was like when the fire started. This is a great trip, and former pupils have always thoroughly enjoyed it.
The pupils also visit Coventry Transport Museum in the Summer term. This links with our made in Coventry topic for History. The children will take part in a workshop led by museum staff where they will investigate materials, create cycle frame models and examine cycles close up. They will also take part in a transport timeline trail.

As well as these exciting trips, during the Spring term the children will have an animal visitor in school. They will bring a range of animals for the children to learn about. The children may also get to handle some of the animals.
Homework
Each Thursday we send home a piece of maths and English homework. We ask for the homework to be returned to school by the following Thursday. We also expect parents to hear their children read a minimum of 5 times a week for at least 5 minutes.

Other Information
Drinks and Fruit
Children are provided with a piece of fruit each breaktime, therefore they do not need to bring in a snack. However, they can bring a healthy snack if they want to.
We ask parents to provide a water bottle, filled with fresh water each day so that children have access to a drink.
What your child needs to bring to school each day
Reading book and diary
Water bottle
Please do not send toys to school as children get very upset if they are lost.
What to do if you have a problem
If someone else is collecting your child on a particular day or if you have a problem that may affect your child’s school day – please tell us first thing in the morning. Alternatively you can contact us on Class Dojo.
If you have any concerns please raise them in the first instance with your child’s teacher or teaching assistant. Should you need to escalate the issue please call the school to arrange an appointment with Mrs Sue Squires (Deputy Head) or Mrs Jacqueline McGibney (Headteacher).
Thank you
