Year 2

Welcome to Year Two

Teachers in Year Two are:
Mrs Barton and Mrs Priestley in Yellow room

Mrs Beattie in Giallo room

Other adults in Year One are:

      Mr Dunhill          Miss Barker         Mrs Clements

PPA time is covered by Mrs Blades and Mrs Davis

PE: We will have PE each week. PE kits should be brought into school on a Monday and left in school until Friday. Please check the Weekly Newsletter for the day PE is planned for each week.

The children will need an indoor PE kit of white t-shirt and black or navy shorts and an outdoor PE kit of white t-shirt, navy or black jogging bottoms and top, and trainers.

Homework: 

Our homework is to:

• read to an adult at home at least three times a week
• practise weekly spellings
• access online maths activities on My Maths 

This will help to ensure the children make the best possible progress during their time in Year Two. Additional homework will be set occasionally throughout the year. This will usually be linked to our topic.

Reading: Reading at least three times a week, or daily if possible, will help the children to progress with their fluency in their reading. The children will complete Guided Reading sessions in school three times a week and will bring home their guided reading books and sharing books on a Friday. Please note in the children's Reading Record when they have read at home.

Spelling: The children will be given spelling homework each week. The spellings are linked to the children's current abilities and support their development in phonics, reading and writing. We have a Spelling Quiz every Friday. Please return homework sheets on a Friday. If using the look, say, cover, write, check method is not appropriate for your child, please feel free to learn and practise the spellings in a different way. Under the Phonics and Spelling tab below you will find a document with alternative suggested spelling activities. On the back of the spellings sheet, it will be beneficial for the children to have a go at writing a sentence or two using the words. This will help with their understanding of how to use the words correctly in their writing.
