What will my child need each day?
Children in Year 2 will need their book bag in school with them each day. We only have a small area to store bags outside the Year 2 classroom so book bags are the correct size for the space we have. Children need to have their reading book in school with them each day. They also need to remember to bring a water bottle and a coat as children do go outside when raining.
PE
Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on Thursday and Friday in Spring 1. Hair should be tied back and jewellery should be removed for PE lessons. If ears are newly pierced, children must be sent to school with tape over their earrings for safety.
Hot Dinners and Snack
Please ensure hot dinner and snack choices are completed using the online system by Sunday Evening. Alternatively, children can bring in their own packed lunch (nut free) if they wish to do so. Children should be able to access the items in their lunchboxes themselves - opening packaging, small tubs etc.
Children in Year 2 are provided with free fruit each day. The type of fruit varies each day and we do not know ahead of time what will be provided. Your child is welcome to bring in a piece of fruit from home if they would prefer. Children also have the opportunity to have a piece of toast instead of fruit.
Children should to bring their full water bottles in daily. We are a healthy school so please fill water bottles with water only.
Medication
If your children needs to take medication during the school day, please complete a form at the school office. Medication sent into school should be clearly labelled with the pupils name, dosage and storage requirements. Medication must be given to a member of staff by the adult responsible for the child. If your child needs an inhaler or epipen in school, please ensure this is sent into school and again handed over to the class teacher. Please make a note of the expiry date before sending into school and ensure that a replacement is sent into school in advance of the expiry date.
