Year 2 - Boater 2024/25
Welcome to the Boater's Class Page!
Our teacher is Miss Maddocks and our teaching assistant is Mrs Holmes.
We are very creative in the Boater class and our teachers love to use creativity to make learning memorable and bring learning to life. We care about our friends and look after each other in our class. We have another member of our class who is furry, smudge the rabbit. We all work together to look after him.
Smudge, our class rabbit.

Reading
Daily Reading - Year 2 is a really important year for reading. We are trying to improve our fluency, our prosody and our comprehension skills. We read in school every day so it is really, really important that your child has their reading folder every day.
Reading at home - It is really important that children read at home to a grown up, every day. This will help them to make good progress in all areas of reading.
Reading Folders - Reading books from our reading scheme are very expensive to replace. In an attempt to keep them in good condition, we will only send them home in a reading packet or green school reading folders. Please do not place them in back packs where drinks bottles can spill on them.
Green Outwoods school reading folders can still be bought at the office if you would like one.
Changing Books - On Thursday evenings we will keep your child's reading folder and change their book ready for the next week. please ensure that the folder is in school on Thursday's.
We are sorry, but if your child does not return their book, we cannot provide them with a new book until it has been returned. If your child loses their book or the book becomes damaged; then a charge of £5 will be made

Welcome back to the new term and a brand new school year. We are looking forward to a wonderful year in Year 2 as the Boater's Class.
Today we launched our new topic "The Power Of Atherstone." this topic is about the history of Atherstone.
We launched our topic by finding out why every class in school has the name of a hat. We discovered that Atherstone is a famous hatting town and there were five hat factories in Atherstone over the past two hundred years. Many of the children have relatives who used to work in the hat factories.
Every class has the name of a different hat.
