We hope that you have all had a wonderful summer.  We are so excited to start a new learning adventure with you in year two, we have so much learning and experiences to unlock together.

Here is some information for our timetable and arrangements this term. Our PE days this term will be a Monday and a Wednesday.  Mr Pearce will be teaching you PE skills on a Monday morning and I will be teaching you gymnastics on a Wednesday afternoon.  Please come to school wearing your Great Milton P.E kit on both days.  In addition Miss Woods will be teaching you music for an hour on a Monday afternoon. This will start from next week, Monday 11th September. We will add more information to this page detailing the learning that will take place this term, a few interactive games have been added for your child to play. 

Home learning challenges will be sent home in an individual folder on a Friday and we would like them to be returned by Wednesday please. Along with a home learning challenge we will send home a few spelling to practise, along with some guidance, the spellings will usually taken from your current phonics work along with some common exception words from the key stage one national curriculum spelling list. We will also add a few resources to support you child with their learning.
