Butterflies 2023 - 2024

Mrs Gant

Welcome to Year 2!

Mrs Gant and Mrs McKenna want to say a big welcome to all our Butterflies who are beginning their final journey as infants. This year we want to work hard but have lots of fun along the way. Throughout the year our Butterflies will thrive and grow as they develop their confidence and aim high to acheive their full potential.

In Butterflies, PE is on Wednesday and Friday afternoons. PE kit must be worn, including their coloured ‘house’ t-shirt, shorts or joggers / leggings - please ensure their kit is school at all times. No jewellery is to be worn, earrings (small studs only) to be removed, or taped (child’s own tape) if they can’t be removed. Girls – no tights and hair tied back.

Homework will be set on a Tuesday and will need to be completed by the following Monday. Please write which homework they have completed from the homework grid in your child’s yellow homework book.

Spelling practise sheets will also be given out on a Monday, your child will be tested the following Monday. Alongside learning spellings, your child will have 5 sentences to complete.

Please help your child to read at least 3 times a week. Their reading record needs to be signed by an adult and the page they are up to written in on the day they read, even if they are on free choice. Books will be checked daily.

Butterflies' class value is Courage.

Butterflies' class author is Colin McNaughton.

Many thanks,

Mrs Gant.
