Please make your class teacher aware if your child has any allergies. 

Please provide your child with a bottle of water each day. They will have opportunities throughout the day to refill their own bottles. 

P.E Days

PE will take place on a Thursday. Please can children come to school this day in their PE kit. PE lessons can take place outside (weather permitting) so please ensure your child is dressed appropriately.

Please wear the following items to school on a PE day:

T-Shirt / Crys-T

Shorts / Siorts or Tracksuit / Traciau

Trainers or daps / Esgidiau chwaraeon

Reading in Year 2 

Reading at home is very important. Reading for just 10 minutes a day can make a BIG difference. Each week we will be sending reading books home for you to read with your child. Please comment on your child's reading ability in the yellow book before sending the books back to school to be changed. We ask for reading books to be brought in on a Tuesday.

Giglets is an online reading programme where your children can access ebooks that will be assigned to your child. Each child has their own personal login that will be sent home. Please contact the class teacher if you are unsure of your child' login.

Seesaw

In order to capture our pupils' learning we often record activities through photos or videos. You can access these through an individual, unique code specifically for your child by downloading the app. 

Ask your teacher for your child's code.
