Year 2 Birch | Strathmore Infant and Nursery School

Welcome to Birch class

The adults in our class:

Mrs Peacock, Teacher

Miss Burtenshaw, Teaching Assistant

Mrs Murphy, Teacher (Wednesdays)

We have PE on a Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Please make sure you child has a PE kit in school (t-shirt, shorts, plimsolls). We do PE outside when the weather is dry, so you may also wish to send some jogging bottoms or leggings and trainers.

Please bring a bookbag every day. Reading books can be changed in the mornings, there is a sticker in the front of the reading record which says which colour book to choose.

Try to read every day and write a comment in the reading record. Every time your child reads at home they will get a special stamp. Homework is given out every Friday in a homework folder. Please try to return the completed homework by Wednesday, so it can be marked.

Library is on a Friday. Your child can choose a fiction or non-fiction book to borrow every week.

Forest School happens fortnightly usually on a Tuesday; this term the sessions will be - 2nd May, 16th May, 6th June, 20th June, 4th July, 18th July. Your child will need a warm change of clothes (layers are good) that you don't mind getting muddy, a pair of wellies or old trainers, a waterproof coat and a spare bag for dirty boots, all of which needs to be in a bag on your child's peg. Look out for the Forest School poster in the classroom window.
