Class Reading Book – Summer 1 Term:

The Diary of a Killer Cat by Anne Fine

A funny and engaging story told from the point of view of a cat named Tuffy. Tuffy insists he is not to blame for his mischievous behaviour, even when strange things keep happening around him! This humorous diary-style story is full of wit and charm, exploring responsibility, misunderstanding, and family life in an entertaining way.

Change of School Catering Provider – from 5th January 2026

From Monday 5th January 2026, our school meals will be provided by Olive Dining, replacing Wilson Jones. We want to remind parents of how the system currently works and highlight what will change:

Automatic meal booking: All children are automatically booked a school meal (this has been in place since September).
Meal selection: Pupils will choose their meal at the counter—no need to select a meal preference on Scopay.
Packed lunches: If your child prefers to bring a packed lunch from home, no Scopay selection is required.

Uniform

In Year 2, children are encouraged to take pride in their appearance and learn the importance of following our school’s uniform expectations. This helps them prepare for the transition into Key Stage 2.

Please note:

Only stud earrings are permitted (no other jewellery, except the Sikh Kara).
Smart watches and large hair bows are not allowed.
On PE days, stud earrings should be removed and a sweatband must be worn over a Kara.
Long hair should be tied back or plaited for health and safety reasons.

For full uniform and PE kit guidelines, please click here.

Thank you for your continued support.

PE Days

PE takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday for each class. Children must come to school dressed in full PE kit on their PE day.

Home Learning

Reading

Daily reading plays a vital role in your child’s development. Please support your child by encouraging reading as part of their regular home routine. It is important for all children to read every day.

Also, ensure that you sign their Reading Record every day.

Books to Enjoy: For Your Child to Read or for You to Read Aloud

Your child also has access to Active Learn, where they can use Bug Club to support their reading and comprehension online.

Homework

Year 2 homework will include daily reading and weekly spellings which will be given out every Friday. Please practise these words each week with your child.

Thank you for your continued support with home learning.
