Dear Parents,
Welcome to our P2 blog!
In our weekly blog you will find information about the learning that has taken place at school during the week, ideas of learning activities to do at home and relevant information for P2 parents.
We hope you enjoyed your visit to your child’s classroom this morning. It was lovely to meet you all.
This has been a very short week and we have focused on settling in, getting to know each other, learning P2 routines and, of course, making new friends. The children have settled quickly and have enjoyed their first week back at school.
We have agreed our class charter: Ready, Respectful and Safe: what those words mean to us in P2 at Buckstone. We have been learning about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and how some of those rights are linked to our class charter.
Useful information:
- PE days:
P2MD Monday and Thursday
P2D Tuesday and Wednesday
- Please ensure all your child’s items are labelled: water bottles, lunch bags, coats, cardigans, shoes,…everything!
- Your child needs indoor and outdoor shoes. We recommend trainers as indoor shoes as it gives good support to the child’s feet and we will use those shoes for indoor PE.
- Remember to bring a change of clothes for your child: all labelled, it doesn’t have to be school uniform items just a full change of clothes (t-shirt, trousers/leggings, pants, socks, jumper/sweatshirt). This change will be kept at school until the end of term (unless needed before).
- In P2 the purple folder should be carried to school each day. You can pop your snack in your folder to bring it to school, but please refrain from putting water bottles in the bag in case of leaks.
The folder will be used to send home any paper communications necessary, and children may also bring home any drawings they do in school and wish to keep. Please check and empty folders daily to avoid a build-up of paper perhaps hiding an important letter.
We would ask that children do not routinely bring a large schoolbag , only when necessary for example when we need extra layers and waterproof clothes for a trip to the woods or if they need it for other reasons (e.g. childcare or clubs after school, etc.)
- Please send a change of essential clothes ( socks, pants, trousers), ideally in a ziplock or small canvas or drawstring bag which will be stored in the class for ease of access when required.
- We would be delighted if you could provide empty boxes, junk, etc…for our stem area.
Thank you for your support.
