Stationery in School

Although your child’s class teacher can provide stationery items such as handwriting pens, pencils, rulers etc., most children in Key Stage 2 bring in their own stationary for use in the classroom. We recommend this where possible because it encourages children to develop greater responsibility for their belongings as they grow. However, because of the wide range of items that can be brought into school and because of a lack of space for storage of items, this list of items has been devised to guide you on what is appropriate for your child to have in the classroom:

Small pencil case (please avoid oversized large ‘Smiggle’ style cases
2 pencils
2 blue handwriting pens (for use only when pen license has been awarded- Year 4 and up)
These are available at school but if you wish to equip your child with these then choose a blue fibre tip. Also the pilot ‘FriXion’ pen is a good, although expensive, option as it is erasable and equipped with its own eraser.
Rubber
Sharpener
Glue Stick
Plain ruler (cm and mm)
Children may bring in a set of colouring pencils
No gel pens please
No felt tips please

To re-iterate, these items are available in school and you are not obliged to supply your child with these, but please observe these recommendations if preparing your child with items for school. This will ensure better classroom organisation and better presentation too.

School Finishes 2pm on Friday 19^th July

Year 2 Theme:Trailblazers	Week beginning: Monday 15th July

Reminders	Reading books and reading cards must be in school every day. Please ensure your child has a water bottle each day. In warm weather, children take their jumpers off and they get lost. Please consider leaving jumpers at home! We have had many instances of children arriving without their packed lunch at 8.50. Please bring your child’s packed lunch with you in the morning rather than delivering it later. This gives the office staff an extra job to bring it to the class and makes the children anxious that their lunch won’t be here in time. Thank you for your help with this
PE Days
Diary Dates	Term ends at 2pm on Friday 19^th July See the school website for all term dates.
