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

   Miss Glass-Sparrows                Miss Fry- Doves

Welcome to Term 6. 

Thank you for all your support this year! Please continue to ensure your child brings minimal possessions into school – if it does not fit in the palm of their hand then it is too big to bring into school.

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.
