Welcome to Eider Ducks 2024-2025
Welcome to Eider Ducks.
Welcome to Eider Ducks.
A warm welcome to Year 2 and Eider Ducks class. Eider Ducks are taught by myself, Mrs McGirl (Tuesday- Friday), Mrs Parker (Mondays), and supported daily by Mrs Jones our fantastic and experienced Teaching Assistant.
P.E.
The children will have two P.E. lessons a week – Monday and Thursday. They will need their P.E. kit in school at all times as there are often extra opportunities to get outside and get active. In the winter plain black leggings/ joggers and a jumper are useful as we will still be going outside weather permitting... Please can you make sure that all items are labelled. Thank you.
Reading Books
We love reading in Eider Duck class! Please read with your child at home at least 3 times per week. Please sign their reading record when you hear your child read and add any comments if you wish to. Children should be encouraged to read a variety of texts and should be read to (e.g. a bed time story) just for the enjoyment of reading. Please ensure your child brings their reading record and books to school daily. With independence growing in Year 2, your child can change their reading book as and when they need to.
Library
The children will be able to choose a new book from the KS1 Library every Thursday.
Communication
Please feel free to catch a member of the Eider Duck team if you have any queries or concerns however big or small. You are more than welcome to have a quick word at the beginning or end of the day. Or, if a longer appointment is necessary, you can arrange this through the school office.
Curriculum
We have a jam packed year of fun learning ahead of us. If you would like to know more have a look at our curriculum overview on our class page on the school website.
We are looking forward to a wonderful year!
