Many thanks,

Well done Year 2!
A huge well done to all the children for being excellent at Colomendy. I hope you share your adventures with people at home and tell them about all the fun you had. I will arrange an opportunity for parents/carers to view photos from our time there after half term. Have a restful half term break!

Year 2 need wellies for tomorrow (Tuesday 17th a January)
Please can children in Year 2 bring wellies (or trainers that can get muddy) into school in a plastic bag tomorrow. We will be heading around the school grounds as part of our science work.
Thanks,
Mrs Pittaway
Merry Christmas Everyone!
I would just like to say another huge well done to the children for making the nativity such a success this year! They all worked incredibly hard to learn their lines and songs. A special thank you to everyone at home who helped with learning their parts and sorting costumes.
We had an amazing Christmas party this afternoon! They danced their socks off… as did I!
Finally, I would like to thank you for all the Christmas wishes, cards and gifts. It is extremely kind.
I wish you all a merry Christmas and happy new year!
Mrs Pittaway
Party Time!
Don’t forget to bring in your party clothes for our Christmas party tomorrow.
We will get changed after lunch.
Thanks,
Mrs Pittaway
Year 2 Nativity Costumes
Thank you for your help with costumes! We did our first dress rehearsal today and the children look fantastic!
Some of the costumes are made of thin material so please make sure your child is wearing a vest (or two) on the performance days (5th, 6th and 7th) to help keep them warm.

Stockings needed in Year 2
With many of you bound to be putting up Christmas decorations over the weekend, I thought it was a good time to ask you to keep hold of any stockings that you have at home. We will need them in school for Thursday 6th December to look at as part of our design and technology unit- Stockings.
Thank you.

Nativity- Born in a Barn
Yes, it is that time of the year again when we start to think about the Nativity.
Children in Year 1 and 2 will be coming home with their parts and lines to learn sometime over the next week or so. Please don’t rush out to buy/make costumes just yet… we have lots of costumes in school but need to have a sort through what we have. Please send a named plastic bag into school for us to put your child’s costume in. If we don’t have a suitable costume for your child here, we will let you know as soon as possible so you will have chance to find something.
Please help your children learn their lines. It is helpful for them to know which lines come before theirs too.
Manys thanks,
KS1 and EYFS Staff
Year 2 Reading
Dear Parents,
As you are aware, we are really promoting reading at Pontesbury as we value the power that reading can have on a person’s life.
You may find it useful to watch the following short video which demonstrates the level of fluency and accuracy expected by the end of Year 2.
KS1 Reading – Working at the Expected Standard – The Day the Crayons Quit – YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4c_DMS-3IE
We are trying a new reading incentive in Year 2 to encourage reading at home and a love of books. Once your child has read at home on 7 occasions (for around 10 minutes), they will get a lucky dip prize. This does require adults at home to record when home reading has taken place. A detailed comment isn’t necessary every time, but please make sure each separate reading session is clear by including the date, book/pages read and by signing.
Thank you for your continued support with reading.
Kind regards,
Mrs Pittaway and Mrs Crane
