Welcome to Marvellous Meerkats

Hello, my name is Mrs Wright and I will be your teacher in Year 2.

I have a little boy called Alex who is 5 and a little girl called Ada who is almost 1 year old. They keep me very busy when I’m not at school. I enjoy spending a lot of time with my family going to different places. One of our favourite places to visit is the zoo to see all the different animals. I also enjoy swimming and I love to read before I go to sleep. 

I have been a teacher at Ryecroft for many years where I have spent time teaching in both Year 1 and Year 2. I am really looking forward to getting to know you all and I hope you are looking forward to the year ahead.

We are going to have a fantastic year.

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. 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 3 books in their book bag that will include a phonics book, a bookbag 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.
