Koalas

Welcome to Koalas!

Class Teacher: Mrs Curran            Teaching Assistant: Mrs Hunter

Mrs Storton teaches on a Monday afternoon and all day on a Thursday

Welcome to Year 2

Spellings

We aim to practice a range of spellings from the year 1/2 common exception word list twice a week to support the children within their writing. Our next spelling test is on Monday 15th December and the spellings are:

break - busy - child - children - Christmas- class - climb - clothes

Home Readers

When you read with your child at home, please write a comment to that effect (or just your initials) in the school planner. Please try and read with your child each day, even if it’s only a couple of pages or for a few minutes, every little helps. We will aim to read with your child at least once a week in school. If your child needs a new book during the week, they can pass their book and planner to Mrs Hunter who will change it for them.

P.E. Days

Koalas will be doing PE on a Monday.

Please ensure your child comes dressed in their PE kits every Monday, with any earrings taken out and hair tied back.
