Maths
PE
PE in Year 2 is every Wednesday afternoon (outdoor) and Tuesday morning (indoor). The children will get changed into their PE kits after lunch so they need to stay in school on their pegs.
The children need shorts, t-shirt and PE shoes – all named and the correct colours. Please ensure they have a warm layer for outdoor PE.
This term in PE we are focusing on fundamental movement skills. These are like the building blocks of all the fun things our bodies can do and are special moves that help us play, explore, and stay active. We will be enjoying running, skipping, jumping, hopping and balancing.
