UKS2 Newsletter – Summer 2 2022

Welcome back! We hope you had an excellent half term. A term full of learning and excitement awaits! Our last term of 21/22 and for some last ever at Scotter School!

Reminders for the Summer Term 2022

• Please ensure your child is prepared for the weather, whether it be a coat or hat and suntan lotion (hopefully).
• Children should bring a bottle of water with their name clearly on the bottle.
• Please make sure that all clothing is named. This makes it easier to return to the correct child.
• Snacks to be eaten at break time must be healthy.
• Please remember that children are not allowed to bring toys to school, this includes trading cards or stickers – it causes upset if they are lost or broken.
• Children are responsible for telling an adult when they need to change their books. Adults and children will work together to select an appropriate book.
• Children will log their progress in their reading diaries. The diaries will be checked each Friday. Please can adults check their logs and initial.
