Key Information

Library day is Friday.
Children to come to school in PE kit on Wednesday and Thursday.
Little Wandle reading books will be given out on a Friday and must be returned on a Monday.
Children to bring a water bottle and a healthy snack every day.

Communicating with your child's class teacher:

Our direct year group email is year2@stmatthewsleeds.co.uk. As both classes use this email, please make it clear in the subject line who the email is for (FAO Mrs Mahmood/Mrs Gifford or Miss Stansfield).

Collecting your child at the end of the day:

We have now learned most parents'/carers' faces which is great for a speedy home time dismissal. If your child is being collected by another person, please ensure that your child's class teacher is aware of this in advance. The best way to do this is by contacting the school office. Due to safeguarding reasons, we cannot release a child to a person without prior instruction from the parent/carer.

Names in clothing:

Please ensure that your child's clothing is clearly labelled with their name so their clothing can be rightfully returned (should it be taken off).

First Day of Year 2

We are so excited for the new school year and ready to support our wonderful Year 2 children as they begin the next chapter of their school journey.

Art

This half term, we are learning all about colour mixing. This week, we explored the primary colours using brushes, sponges, rollers and straws and, of course, lots of creativity.
