We have two Year 2 classes

Miss Fry 

Support Staff - Mrs Pell and Mrs West

Autumn Term

Please continue to send your child in with water; and, when appropriate, please ensure your child comes into school with a sunhat and is wearing sun cream, or a coat if wet/cold.  

Please continue to ensure your child brings minimal possessions into school.  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.   

Messages 

Please ensure the children bring their reading book everyday and their spelling book on a Friday.
