Uniform
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Our uniform policy is in place so that it is equitable for all and so that children feel comfortable, look smart and are ready to learn. I want to clarify a couple of points just to make sure our Foxes are feeling happy and comfortable, looking their best and have all the equipment they need!
Shoes - Should be smart and black in colour; black trainers are not permitted.
Jumpers/ Cardigans/ Coats - Children should have a jumper or cardigan with them as we approach more variable weather, as well as a coat or jacket.
PE Kit - Should be a Warfield t-shirt or plain blue t-shirt, blue or black shorts and tracksuit bottoms for outdoors. Trainers should be velcro unless children can tie their laces themselves but the preference is for black plimsolls.
Hair and earrings - Earrings must be taken out for PE, either before school on Mondays and Thursdays, or children must be able to take them out themselves; please note for health and safety reasons staff cannot take earrings out. If newly pierced within the last 6-8 weeks, earrings should be covered with a plaster/ tape before school on a PE day. Earrings should always be small studs. Girls hair must be tied back and girls with short hair to use hair clips to keep hair from their face. Large hair bands/ bows are not permitted.
Bags and Bottles - A small bag, ideally a Warfield book bag, should be brought into school every day with their Home Folder. All children should bring a re-useable water bottle into school with them every day.
If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to contact me via the office, or speak to me at drop-off or pick-up.
Mr Riordan.

Woodland Walk
Dear Parents/ Carers,
Thank you so much for offering your support for our Woodland Walk on Monday. I was delighted to be inundated with responses! Therefore I thought it was only fair to take responses in a ‘first in’ manner. I have made contact directly with parents who can support so if you have not heard from the office we will not require you on Monday, but thank you so much for your kind and generous offers of time - there will be plenty of opportunities throughout Year 2 where we might need an extra hand so I will keep you all in mind!
Kind regards,
Mr Riordan.

Welcome to Foxes Class!
I hope you all had a fantastic summer holiday and are ready to learn in our exciting first term together in Year 2! This half-term our topic is 'Once upon a time...' We will be looking at lots of our favourite traditional tales, including writing our own version of Little Red Riding Hood. In Maths, we will be consolidating and furthering our place value knowledge alongside addition. Our topic will allow us to take a woodland walk as we beginning to look at mapping skills and deepen our scientific understanding of living things and their habitats. In ICT, we will be learning to touch type as we publish our stories. Our Art and D&T projects will focus on making, including lunch boxes for Little Red Riding Hood and medicine bottles and potions to help make Grandma better! In RE we will explore the creation story.
