All your child’s homework can be found on Showbie in the green homework folder.
Task Homework – This is a task that the children will need to complete. This will be linked to prior learning or to support the children in their learning for that week.
Often the task homework will be something for you to do (a task) or to talk through rather than written work that needs handing in. However, if is does need handing in, it can be submitted in a variety of ways depending on what suits the tasks. You can choose how you would like to submit it.
Just talk – This will be sent home on a Monday for the children to talk about. The children will complete their Just Write on a Friday during our assessment morning.
Spellings – Each child will be set new spellings on a Friday. These words will be linked to the phonics sounds that the children will be covering during their phonics lessons the following week. The children will complete the spelling quiz (test) the following Friday during our assessment morning.
MyMaths – Children will be set a new MyMaths challenge each Friday.
Reading – Ideally, we would like the children to be reading regularly at home.
Welcome to Year 2 – we are really excited about welcoming your child!
To help you get started, here are the morning and end of day routines for when we return in September, along with a few top tips!

End-of-the-day routines
Kids Club
If your child is attending Bowerham Kids Club or Casual Club, they will be asked to stay in the classroom until they are picked up by the Kids Club. Please keep staff and Kids Club fully informed if there are any changes to proposed childcare. We also have a casual care club available if needed. More details about the casual care club can be found through the following link:

The PE Day for Year 2 is TUESDAY. Children should come to school in their full PE kit and you can find a list of what they will need to wear for PE here.
Library books can be changed in the new Key Stage 1 library on a Friday (both classes).
