Hello and welcome to Wren Class!

Miss Cole is the class teacher and is supported by Mrs Hardwick, who teaches the class on a Thursday afternoon. We also have support from Mrs Berry and Miss Dennett.

We look forward to supporting your children's learning and getting to know you all over the course of the year. Please see below for important information about day-to-day expectations.

Our class teacher is Miss Cole who is supported by Mrs Hardwick, who teaches the class on Thursday afternoon. We also have support from Mrs Berry and Miss Dennett.

We have lots of fun-packed learning to get through this year and we would like to thank you for all the support you give your child at home with their reading, learning times tables and completing maths homework.

PE Days - Tuesdays & Fridays
Please come into school in your PE kits on those days. Sometimes the timetable may be subject to change depending on weather and other activities going on in the school week. We will try to notify you of changes in time.

Home Learning
Each week, children are expected to practise spellings. Spellings will be sent home on a Friday for checking the following week. We will be working from the Year 2 common exception words and will include spelling rules. It is our aim to ensure that we can all read, spell and use these words. If your child can spell these words in isolation please ask them to use the word in a sentence.

Each fortnight we set Maths homework on Mathsseeds.

LOVE READING! Please try to listen to your child read at least three times a week and remember to log it on Boomreader! See if you can persuade someone to read to you every night at bedtime, too. (It's like a magic trick that sets your imagination on fire!) To work on your comprehension, try getting someone to ask you questions from comprehension bookmarks below. You can work your way up to more challenging questions. Here is a link to some great book suggestions. See if you can persuade someone to read to you every night at bedtime, too. (It's like a magic trick that sets your imagination on fire!)

When reading with your child please ask them open-ended questions such as 'Why do you think...?' so that your child can elaborate on their answer and you can also see how much your child has understood the text.

Regular attendance at school is vital for your child’s education.

If your child is absent from school for any reason school needs to know. Please telephone the school by 9.30 a.m. on the first day of absence. We need to know the reason (as schools are required to distinguish between authorised and unauthorised absence of pupils) and how long your child is likely to be off. Please ask your Doctor for advice regarding how long your child should be kept off school.

If medicine is prescribed, arrangements can only be made for the administration in school if the dosage is x4 daily. Parents are asked to complete a request form and all medicines must be handed to the school office in the original packaging, clearly labelled with date, contents, pupil’s name and dosage.
