We have two Year 2 classes- Mrs Clinch and Miss Fry

   Mrs Clinch-Sparrows                Miss Fry- Doves

Welcome to Term 5

Thank you for all your support this year! Please can you make sure that your child has a coat with their name on
everything so that they are easy to find. Please continue to ensure your child brings minimal possessions into
school – if it does not fit in their drawer it is too big to bring into school.

A quick reminder to make sure your child has a water bottle with them every day.

Homework

When the children have PE, they should continue to wear their Bitham Brook PE kit into school with the school jumper over the top (if weather conditions require a jumper).  Please note the Bitham Brook PE kit is a plain white t-shirt and black shorts/leggings/tracksuit with daps/trainers.  Other sports clothing is not acceptable as it is important that, as a school, we have pride in our appearance.
