We have two Year 2 classes- Miss Glass and Miss Fry

   Miss Glass-Sparrows                Miss Fry- Doves

Welcome to Year 2

Welcome to Year 2.  This year Miss Glass and Miss Fry will be your year 2 class teachers. We are all looking forward to welcoming you all back in September for another busy term. 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.
