Class routines and rules

We also have new daily routines: 1. Stay in your bubbles at break and lunch. 2. We no longer change into PE kits. 3. Wash and sanitise your hands regularly,

especially when leaving or entering the classroom and before eating.

4. Use your own pencils and items from your pack with no sharing.

5. Please keep hands away from your face and fingers out of mouths and noses!

Here are the class rules for Year 2: 1. Treat people with respect and use kind words at all times.

Always have kind hands and feet. 2. Use your manners and value everybody equally. 3. Put your hand up if you want to speak. When someone is

speaking show good listening by looking at the person talking and not interrupting them.

4. Take care of the things in the classroom and school around you. 5. Always try your best! 6. If you need help with your work always ask an adult, don’t

struggle in silence.
