Y2: Spring 2

Hello everyone. Hope you have had a lovely half term. 

We’re really looking forward to coming in on Tuesday and seeing the children. Spring 2 already! 

We also wanted to let you know about a small change to our class assembly. We were originally planning to hold it this week, but that would only have given us three days to get everything ready. We feel that isn’t quite enough time. 

So, we’ve decided to move the assembly to Friday 20th March instead. We’re sorry this is a bit of late notice, but we really think this will be much better for the children and will give them the time they need to prepare properly.

Thank you, as always, for your support — we’re really looking forward to sharing the children’s work with you soon!

Key dates this term:

Thursday 5th March: We are looking forward to celebrating World Book Day 2026, which will take place on Thursday 5th March and we would like to share our plans with you in advance.

This year’s theme is “Go All In”, which aims to inspire children to read by helping them make meaningful connections between books and their own hobbies, passions and interests.

Dressing Up - On World Book Day, children are invited to come to school dressed as:

• their favourite book character, or

• a character linked to their interests (for example, a sports figure from a book, a scientist, musician, etc.).

Please be reassured that costumes are expected to be simple, comfortable and accessible, with no expectation of spending money. Creative, homemade or everyday clothing is absolutely encouraged.

Book Swap - We will also be holding a book swap on World Book Day. Children may bring in one or two good-quality books that they no longer read and exchange them for another book. This is a lovely way to refresh home bookshelves and share a love of reading.

W/B 16th March- Science week 

20th March- Y2 Class assembly 9.30am and Comic Relief (more details TBC)
