Nightingales
In Nightingales, we are enthusiastic to learn, helpful to each other and we work as a team.
Welcome to Nightingales
Welcome to Nightingales’ Class. We are a Year 2 class and our teacher is Miss Ayoub. We also have Mrs Green, Ms Reed, Miss Wilbert, Mrs Caswell and Mrs Wright who help us with our learning.
Homework
Reading : Your child will take home their school reading book each day. We ask that they spend time reading at home each day and record their reading within their Reading Record book. We ask that your child brings their reading book and Reading Record book to school each day. They can do tests on Accelerated Reader after finishing their books if they have moved onto the Accelerated Reader scheme. Reading books will be changed on Mondays and Thursdays.
PE (PE kit)
To see when your child has PE please click on this link to view the PE timetable.
Please ensure that your child comes to school dressed in the appropriate kit on these days. As the weather improves please can you ensure your child has their water bottle in school and has had sunscreen applied.
Please make sure that long hair is tied up on PE days, and earrings, if worn, are removed.
Trips and Visits
In Years 1/2, we organise a range of trips and visits, each year. The aim of our trips is to supplement our children’s learning for that half-term. They give our children real-life contexts for their topics. We are currently following cycle B.
