We have two Year 2 classes- Miss Thomas/Mr Bold and Miss Fry

   Miss Thomas/Mr Bold-Sparrows                Miss Fry- Doves

    Mrs Fox (Maternity cover)

Welcome to Term 6. 

Welcome to Year 2. This year Miss Fry and Mrs Fox will be your year 2 class teachers. We are all looking forward to welcoming you all back in September.

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.
