Over the course of the year, 2b children will experience a diverse and rewarding topic based curriculum. Our success is achieved through structured tasks, independent and group investigations, a lively programme of interactive mental maths, extra curricular visits, taking part in musical and dramatic performances and an active Physical Education programme. The children also learn to play a musical instrument called an ocarina!

The information below is intended to answer any queries that you may have about your child starting in a new class and the daily routines that you will encounter.

Lessons finish at 2.50pm and the children then have free play in the classroom. Collection is flexible between 2.50 and 3.30pm.

For games the following kit is required:-
A jogging suit
Outdoor trainers
Indoor trainers/plimsoles
A drawstring bag to hold the kit.

It is also advised that a named apron could be in school for messy days!

ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS MUST BE NAMED!

2b children will have a small amount of homework each night which should take not longer than 15-20 minutes. The homework will be written in a prep book so you can check what they have to do. This will usually consist of reading and two spellings to learn and write in a sentence.

On Fridays we test the week’s spellings, have a basic number test, and a ‘general’ test covering the week’s topic objectives and some basic general knowledge. We do aim to keep these tests as low key as possible!

In your child’s pencil case they will need:- Coloured pens Coloured pencils Several lead pencils A rubber Pencil sharpener

Our main wish is to give the children in 2b a very varied and fun learning experience. We certainly have a great time!
