YEAR 2

Welcome back! I hope you have had an enjoyable summer. The children have certainly had lots of exciting stories to share.

Welcome to our new Year 2 students and their families. The students are settling in really well and we hope they will continue to enjoy their time at Sirius College. We look forward to working with you.

At our school, we emphasize treating everyone with respect, being on time and in school every day, wearing the correct uniform and working hard. These are important life skills and they form basis of responsible and successful personalities.

We encourage you to continue to work with us, so your child can grow in confidence, with a love of learning and a determination to be the best person they can be.

A few reminders:

• Students get their homework booklets every Monday and they should be handed in every Friday morning.
• Students also get some online homework on ReadingEggs and Mathletics which has to be completed on weekly basis.
• We are all busy people, but you must put a routine in place whereby children know they must do their home learning – homework, reading etc… Please sign your child’s reading log every day and have a discussion about the book they read to ensure they are understanding what they are reading.
• We follow a strict uniform policy. Students should be in their P.E. uniform every Tuesday and Thursday. On all other days, they need to wear their proper school uniform. Please ensure you write your child’s name on all uniform.
• We also expect that children will attend school with suitable haircuts. Extreme haircuts, for example tramlines, patterned styles, Mohican cuts etc… are not permitted in school.
• Please ensure that your child’s lunchbox contains healthy food, with no fizzy drinks or chocolate.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to another successful year for all of us.
