Welcome to Wise Owls

Hi, my name is Mr Butler and I am the Year 2 teacher in Wise Owls.

I currently work as part of the KS1 team at Ryecroft. After completing my university studies, I became a teaching assistant at Ryecroft in 2017. I spent 2 years working alongside the fantastic team which inspired me to become a teacher. Having completed my teaching studies, I have since returned to Ryecroft and I am moving into my seventh year of teaching. I thoroughly love being a part of the Ryecroft community.

I love watching football and playing cricket for one of the local teams. I also love going on holiday.

There is a designated area to store water bottles to ensure that children can have a drink throughout the day. We ask that you only provide water in your child’s bottle to help keep them hydrated.

Children will receive homework on a Friday. Homework will consist of Maths and spellings. Please return homework in the homework bag by Wednesday (please keep the spellings to practice daily). Spellings are tested on a Friday. 

PE days will be on a Tuesday and Thursday. On a Tuesday children can come to school in their PE kit. However for our Thursday PE lesson, children need to have a PE kit that can be stored on their peg all week. This should consist of a white t-shirt, black shorts, joggers or leggings. Please make sure that all items are clearly labelled and kept in a labelled bag. Earrings should be removed on these days and long hair needs to be tied back.

Children need to bring a bookbag to school everyday. Children will have 4 books in their book bag that will include a phonics book, a book bag book, poetry book and a reading for enjoyment book. Books are changed on a Friday. Some children may read more than once a week with different staff. Remember to read at home and write in their home school diary to take part in our reading race.
