PE Kits: Please make sure your child has a labelled PE kit in school which includes a white t-shirt,
shorts or joggers with pumps for indoor lessons and trainers for outdoor lessons. PE kits should be
brought into school in a named bag at the beginning of a half term, put into the appropriate class
box in the gym and stay there until the end of term ready to be washed during the holidays.
Y2 PE days are Monday and Thursday
Water Bottles: Please make sure your child has a labelled water bottle in school at all times. During
the day the children are only allowed to drink water. Other still drinks are allowed in packed lunches.
Water bottles can be brought from the Main Reception for £1.Learning Expectations: It is our expectation that the vast majority of the children will be working at the expected standard for their year group, with some working at a greater depth within their year’s curriculum. If a child finds a concept difficult to grasp the class teacher may work with them during morning work, assembly time - or any other time they can find – to make sure they understand and are ready for the next lesson, to ensure they don’t fall behind. If despite this, they still struggle and we feel they may need some additional support with their learning, we would discuss appropriate steps with you in consultation with Mrs Sneddon our Inclusion Leader. Keeping in touch: As parents, you have a vital role to play in your child’s learning. The school staff team are always happy to see parents during the week, before or after school to pass on brief messages and please make an appointment if a longer chat is needed. Please come and talk to us if you are worried about friendships, progress or anything at all. It is always best to talk to the class teachers as the first port of call. We know many of you work and are not always available before or after school hours so you may prefer to send an email and we will respond as quickly as possible. Class teacher’s e mail address: Miss Thoseby freyathoseby@rainbowforgeacademy.co.uk Miss Shakesby emmashakesby@rainbowforgeacademy.co.uk
