We’re so excited to have you here! In Unicorn Class, we believe in learning with curiosity, kindness, and a little bit of magic. 🌈

Every day is a new adventure filled with creativity, discovery, and teamwork.

This is the place where we’ll share our class news, celebrations, and all the wonderful things we’re learning together.

Parents, guardians, and friends—thank you for joining us on this journey!

Let’s make this year truly magical. 💫

School Uniform

At Gateford Park, the uniform consists of white polo shirt (with or without logo), black or grey skirt/pinafore or trousers, blue gingham dresses, blue sweater or cardigan (ideally with logo). Children should wear black school shoes with school uniform, NOT trainers. Jewellery should be kept to an absolute minimum for safety reasons and because valuable items can be easily lost. Please no necklaces, bracelets, rings, dangly earrings.

For PE, please ensure that your child has a plain white t-shirt (with or without logo) and plain black or navy blue shorts/joggers/leggings, with appropriate footwear (trainers or plimsoles). We have spare shorts and t-shirts in school for those who forget or who come to school in the incorrect kit. No jewellery at all should be worn for PE.  Our PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays. Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days.

This term in Year 2, we will be learning all about the Great Fire of London. We will find out when and where the fire started, and why it spread so quickly through the city. We’ll learn about the people who lived in London in 1666 and how they tried to fight the fire using buckets, water squirts, and fire hooks.

We will also discover who Samuel Pepys was and why his diary is such an important source of information. Finally, we will think about how London has changed since 1666 and what we can learn from the past about fire safety today.

We want your child to feel happy and secure at school and this is our ultimate aim to enable them to make consistent progress. If there are any problems, questions or concerns about your child please don’t hesitate to pop in after school or send a message through class dojo.

We look forward to seeing you all soon,

Unicorn Class Team
