Years 1 and 2

Welcome back class 1/2M to a new year at Waterloo Primary! We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead, getting to know one another and build some lasting memories that will stay with your children throughout their learning journey with us and beyond.

Children in 1/2M take part in their PE sessions on a Tuesday and a Friday this year, therefore please ensure your child has their PE kit with them each week. Or this can be left on their peg for the half term. The PE kit consists of:

Indoor: plain white T-shirt, black shorts, black pumps.

Outdoor: as above and navy coloured jumper/hoodie and navy tracksuit bottoms, trainers or plimsolls.

Please note, for health and safety reasons, earrings are not to be worn on PE days.

Reading books, any library books and homework are to be returned on a Wednesday and will be sent back out on Friday. Please make sure you are signing your child’s reading diary so we can see your child has been reading at home. Your child will be awarded a raffle ticket each week for completed homework and a signed reading diary, that will be entered into a half term treat!

Homework:

Year 1: Homework sheets sent home on a Friday to be returned by Wednesday. Videos will be set on ClassDojo for your child to practise their phonics knowledge from home.

Year 2: Homework sheets sent home on a Friday to be returned by Wednesday. Your child will also be given a Timetables Rockstars log in to continue their learning.

Children in 1/2M have also been given their log in for PurpleMash, so learning can continue from home, as computing is a session the children often enjoy.

I would like to kindly remind parents to write your child’s name in their uniform and on any property that enters the school building.

Please look out for updates on our ClassDojo pages and our school's Facebook and Twitter.

Thank you for all of your support and I look forward to our journey ahead!
