Year 1 & 2 - Hawks
Autumn 2
Dear Parents / Carers,
Please find below information about this term’s learning and events.
PE Days
PE days for Years 1 and 2 continue to be Mondays and Tuesdays. Please can children attend school on these days in their PE kits. For health and safety reasons, jewellery should not be worn on these days, and long hair should be tied back.
Water Bottles
Children require a water bottle containing water in school each day to keep them hydrated. There is a tray in the classroom to store these and the children are able to refill these as needed throughout the day.
Reading and Library Books
All children have their reading books changed on a Friday – please ensure your child brings their book and reading record to school on this day. We will be having our Star Reading Raffle at the end of this term. The children have chosen a library book that they would like to share with you at home. These books will be swapped on a Thursday.
Year 2 Spellings
Year 2 have brought their spellings for this term home with them. They are also on our class page. The children have their spelling quiz on a Friday morning.
Staffing
Mrs Milverton will be in class every day, with the exception of Wednesday afternoon when Mrs Moore will cover the class. The teaching assistants working in class throughout the week will be Mrs Mayhew-Sanders and Mrs Grafton. We will continue to have our trainee teacher, Miss Brunt with us until the end of this term.
Christmas Show
At the end of term we will be sharing our ‘Wriggly Nativity’ with you. The performance dates are in the school newsletter. We are currently in the process of allocating parts for the play and if a costume is required a letter will be sent home shortly.
If you need to contact me with regard to your child, you are welcome to email me or speak with me at the end of the school day.
Kind regards,
Mrs Milverton
Autumn 1
Dear Parents / Carers,
It was lovely to welcome the children in Years 1 and 2 back after their summer break. They have all quickly settled back into the routines and expectations, and are ready to learn!
Please find below information about our class routines and things your child will need each day.
PE Days
PE days for Years 1 and 2 will be Mondays and Tuesdays. Please can children attend school on these days in their PE kits. For health and safety reasons, jewellery should not be worn on these days, and long hair should be tied back.

Reading Books
All children have their reading books changed on a Friday – please ensure your child brings their book and reading record to school on this day. The total number of times your child has read at home in the week are also totalled on this day. Those who have met our school reading expectations of 5 or more times, will have their names entered into our end of term Star Reading Raffle.
School Bags
Our cloak room is very limited with space, especially when the colder weather arrives and children bring in coats and fleeces. It would be very helpful if your child could refrain from bringing a backpack to school so that our pegs can be used for hanging up their outerwear. All children have their own tray in the classroom for storing their book bags and other small personal belongings.
Show and Tell
This is a lovely opportunity for children to bring in and share with the class things they have made, written or information about places they have visited. We will have ‘Show and Tell’ on a Friday morning.

Student Teacher
We will be having a trainee teacher from UWE join our team on Monday 16th September. Miss Blunt will be completing her PGCE placement with us in Years 1 and 2.
If you need to contact me with regard to your child, you are welcome to email me or speak with me at the end of the school day.
Kind regards,
Mrs Milverton
