Timetable

This is our Year 2 Autumn timetable.

As you can see, we now have a week A and week B timetable.

P.E

Year 2 have P.E every Monday. Please make sure your child always has their P.E. kit in school - we do remind children to take them home at the end of every half-term so they can be washed. Children need black shorts, a white t-shirt, jogging bottoms, pumps, and old trainers for outside lessons. Please write your child’s name in all items of clothing. Please can you make sure earings are removed on P.E days.

Homework

Your child will find their Homework Project sheet on Google Classroom and below. Once your child has completed a challenge, they are to upload a picture or document to their Google Classroom assignment in order for dojos to be awarded. Homework will be updated half termly. 

Topic

Our current topic is Indian Spice. We will be exploring maps and locating the seven continents. We will be locating India and the UK and comparing the two countries, thinking about the population, climate and landscape. In art we will be looking at rangoli patterns and creating our own pattern, exploring the colours and shapes.

Good to be Green 

At River View, we follow the good to be green system. All children enter the day on green. Children who listen and follow the classroom/school rules and values, stay on green. If children do not, the following applies:

First warning and a reminder. 

Stop & think card is issued.

Yellow card is issued. 

Red card is issued. 

At any time, if behaviour stops then they return to green. 

Adults model positive behaviours at all times and children are expected to take responsibility for their behaviour, as well as accept the consequences of certain behaviours. Individual staff use praise and positive talk with children, so that there is a positive ‘can do’ culture and children feel that they are valued.
