Year 2 2021 - 2022

Hello and a very warm welcome to Year 2!  My name is Mrs Nuttall and I am the class teacher.  I am really excited to be teaching Year 2 this year and I have lot of exciting learning opportunities planned for the children.  Although I have taught in Year 6 over the past few years, I have experience of teaching a range of classes in primary school and have even taught for in EYFS for a number of years.  I am excited to be teaching phonics once more and am looking forward teaching the Year 2 curriculum also.  I am joined daily in class by Mrs Lord who is a Level 3 Teaching Assistant and by Mrs Whitelely which is also a Teaching Assistant.  Mrs Seamans will teach the class every Wednesday afternoon too.

Reading Books

Please ensure that your child brings their reading book and wallet to school daily.  A good place for it to live when they are at home is in their book bag.  Please read at home daily to help support their fluency and understanding. 

PE

PE days are Monday and Thursday.  Please send your child into school on those day in the correct PE kit and trainers.  On all other days, your child needs to wear school uniform including school shoes.

Water Bottles

Please send your child to school with a water bottle each day.  Water bottles can be refilled during the day and access to a water fountain is available too.

Milk, Fruit and Toast

If you wish for your child to have toast at morning play, please pay for this on ParentPay.  If your child does not want toast, please send a piece of fruit.  Biscuits and cereal bars are not allowed.  Thank you for your support with this.

In the afternoon, milk is available if paid for on Cool Milk.  If you want any information regarding this, please contact the school office.  All children are offered fruit in the afternoon on a daily basis which is provided by school.

Homework

At present, homework is on paper and I will let you know each week what I have planned.  Google Classroom hasn't assigned me to the teacher of the class yet but as soon as this happens, I will set some work on Google Classroom.  Thank you for your patience with this.

Contact

Please feel free to contact me at school by emailing c.nuttall@britannia.lancs.sch.uk or if your question needs a quick response, it may be better to contact the school office on 01706 874447.

Busy Working with Clay

In Art, we designed clay tiles based on our local area.  We explored bridges, trees and chimneys and then created our masterpieces.
