Year 2

with Miss Askew and Miss Brooks.

Learning

For further details about your child's learning journey, please see the Curriculum page.

Spelling

Spellings will be issued on a Friday and there will be a short test the following Friday.  There will be 5 spellings which are linked to The Year 1 or 2 common exception words and other areas of our curriculum.  Phonetic spellings are taught through our phonics scheme daily.

Reading

You will be provided with a home learning packet with a book bag book and a reading diary which needs to be in school everyday.  As well as this your child will have an access code for Oxford Owl eBooks, this is fixed inside the cover of the reading diary.  The eBook will be an online copy of the text that the children have been learning to read in class that week.  The reasoning behind this is for your child to develop confidence reading a book that they already know well.  Your child will gather more confidence if you read a few pages a day, rather than a whole book.  The expectation is that you will read at least 4 times a week at home and that you will sign the reading diary.  I will also be providing a comprehension book mark with ideas of questions that you can ask your child about what they have read.  This helps the children to tune into their reading and shows that they understand the text. Book bag books will be taken in on a Thursday to be changed and returned on a Friday 

PE

PE takes place in school every Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child comes in appropriate PE kit; see our Uniform page for reference. We will also use our Forest School area on a Tuesday afternoon, so the  children will need to dress appropriately for the weather.  This may mean wellies if it is or has been raining.

We will send regular Marvellous Me messages and emails to keep you up-to-date with any important information, as well as to celebrate children's amazing achievements, academically or socially.  

If you do have any questions, then please talk to us at the end of the day, or email the office, where we will be happy to help.
