Chestnut Class: Key Information
PE
Our PE days are Mondays and Thursdays and children are expected to take part in all PE lessons. They should come to school in the correct PE kit on these days.
Water Bottles
Please make sure your child comes to school with a named water bottle.
Homework
Home Learning is any work or activity completed outside lesson time, either alone, with parents, or others. Home Learning makes an important contribution to progress at school. It is used to enhance and support the pupils’ learning within school.
Homework will be set via Seesaw on a Friday and due in the following Thursday. Your child should upload their homework to Seesaw by this day. Children are also expected to read either to an adult at home or to themselves every day. Their reading record should be signed every time they read so that we can keep track at school.

For maths investigation day this year, Chestnut class took part in a range of activities including some Active Maths games. They incorporated some maths leaning in their PE lesson by playing games that included counting and scoring points. They also had a challenge to work with their learning partners to arrange 9 triangles to make one big triangle, so the numbers that touch add up to 10. Once they had finished making the big triangle, they had to think about, how they got started and what they did next and discuss it on their table. Lots of children showed great resilience which is an amazing start to Year 2!
