Blyton Class

Dahl Class

We would like to take this chance to welcome you and your child to Year 2 and to introduce the team. Year 2 is made up of two classes, Blyton Class and Dahl Class.

The teachers are Miss Moseley and Mrs Taylor in Enid Class and Mrs Pendlebury in Dahl Class. Mrs Regan covers Dahl class on a Tuesday. Supporting us in the classroom, we have two wonderful Learning Support Assistants: Mrs Sleight and Miss Proctor.

Over the year, your child will continue to be encouraged to become more independent and to take ownership of their own education. Throughout Year 2, we will focus on helping your child reach the expected standard by the end of Key Stage 1, and will ensure that they also develop spiritually, morally, socially and culturally.

At Ivanhoe, we value reading greatly, including reading for pleasure. Reading opens the doors to everything. We have lots of reading incentives at Ivanhoe, including our book vending machine! We encourage children to read at home at least 3 times each week. 7 reads in a week means your child will be entered into the draw for the book vending machine!

Children will take home one of our 'Book Tree' books, alongside their reading book, and can loan them for as long as they wish. Once returned, they can exchange it for a new one. There will be certificates at the end of the year based on the amount of Book Tree books read and shared at home.

Please find attached our Ivanhoe Books for Pleasure list for Y2 which children will enjoy listening to at story time each afternoon, throughout the year.

We strongly believe that, by working together, we can help ensure that your child will reach their full potential. We communicate most things through Class DOJO, and we are always available to answer any questions! Please do not hesitate to contact us through Class DOJO, or call the office/catch us at the end of the school day to arrange a meeting.

Here’s to a fantastic year - we have a feeling it's going to be a great one!
