Welcome to Year 2

In Year 2 our aim is to ensure that the children experience a smooth transition from the Year 1 to Year 2. The Year 2 curriculum builds upon and extends the experiences that children have had in Reception and Year 1. Please look at class pages for more information to support your child and for photos and information about your child’s learning in school.

Here are a few things you might like to know about our year group.

What will the children need in school?

Everyday each child should bring to school their book bag or a small bag containing their reading record and reading book. Reading diaries will be checked every day and books changed once they have been completed. Please ensure your child reads to an adult every day at home and that the reading diary is signed.

Each child should have a named water bottle.

Timetable:

PE is on a Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit.

Home Learning:

Home Learning is given each Tuesday via Google Classroom.

Weekly spellings are handed out on a Tuesday via the Monster Phonics spelling book and tested the following Monday. Please make sure you bring your Monster Phonics spelling record book book to school on Monday. 

Daily reading  We aim to read individually with the children as much as possible and all children read daily in class during class activities. Please read daily with your child at home.

Maths tasks:

Daily ten is a useful website we use in class that help children with their mental maths and practising the four operations

Children also have their own passwords for Doodle Maths which is website tailored to their current level in maths. We encourage the children to access this at home as well as in school once a week.

Show and Tell:

We love hearing about all of the exciting things that do at home. Please post any pictures to the class stream on our Google Classroom and we will share your news with the class
