Welcome to Class 2

Welcome to Year 2,

In the classroom this year there will be Mrs Hume (Class teacher), Mrs Hardisty and Miss Lyttle (Teaching Assistants).

We are looking forward to a year of fabulous learning.


The children will bring their reading books home everyday. We would like them to read at least 3 times a week. Please remember to sign their record book when they read with you at home. 

Library day is Wednesday. Please return library books each Wednesday. 

The children will bring home spellings every Friday. Please help them to practice these and return the books each Monday so we can have a quick spelling test.

Our PE days are Tuesday (outdoor) and Friday (indoor).


Please continue to keep an eye on Tapestry for any further information.

Thank you

Mrs Hume
