 My star of the week this week goes to Noah for always setting an excellent example.

Welcome back after the holidays. During Summer 1 we will be reading a much loved story called The Bog Baby. I hope you enjoy it as much as me!

Our vision for ADRIFT 

We aim to create hope for our children, in a world that has many challenges. Our children will develop a greater understanding of the world and where those  who have been displaced from their homes come from. Children will gain secure geographical knowledge in the context of a human experience and explore the  concept of ‘Home’. Through the work that we do children will be able to form their own views of the  world based on fact and understand why prejudices may occur. Where appropriate they will be able to question things they may read, see or hear in the media. They will be able to engage in conversations with their families, helping to pivot perceptions and break down stereotypes. Our children will be empowered to turn their empathy into action and believe that  they can make a difference in the world

Important Information:

1. PE is on a Monday morning. Please can you ensure that if your child wears earrings they are removed on PE days or they can be covered with plasters.

2. All uniform needs to be clearly labelled.

3. Homework goes out on a Friday and needs to be in the following Tuesday.( If it is in on Monday your child gets a class dojo point!) 

4. ​Spellings are taught daily first thing in the morning. Please ensure your child is in school on time daily so they do not miss out on learning opportunities.

5. School meals are provided free of charge so dinner money is not necessary.

6. AOL write (Big Write) is on a Tuesday.

7. Milk is optional in year 2 and is charged at an extra cost. Please see 'Cool Milk' under school information on the home page. The children can buy various snacks and drinks at breaktime daily. Please see the breaktime menu for prices and what is available.

8.  In year 2 children are expected to join their handwriting. Please can you encourage and support your child as much as possible in doing so.

Reading is a vital part of your child's progression in school. All children have a reading book and reading record. Please listen (and read) to your child each day and complete the reading record. Please send both in to school every day in their book bag as they will also be reading this in school.  When completed twice, your child will change their book. If you read every night at home with your children they will receive a green dojo on a Friday. Look out for regular tasks being sent home to complete in reading journals too! Thank you!
