An overview of the year....
Please click on the icon below to get an overview of the curriculm being provided for your child this year. We are very busy in Year 2 and would love it if you would support us by discussing topics covered in school at home or by visiting the library so we are able to further enhance our knowledge through sharing books.
Key Information
PE lessons will take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure that your child is sent into school with their full PE kit on a Monday so that it can remain in school for both lessons and be returned home to be washed on Friday. If your child is still struggling to get themselves changed, please continue to practise this at home so that they are able to do this independently.
Reading books will be changed every Friday. On a Friday, your child will receive two reading books. When possible, try and read for 10 minutes each day with your child. It is good practise to read the books provided more than once to help develop your child's fluency and vocabulary acquisition. Please record any reading completed at home in the reading record provided. It is so important that your child reads regulary and we really appreciate your support on this matter. So that your child can read as often as possible, please send in their home reading books into school every day so that they can be read with an adult in school as well.
Your child will be sent home with their log-in details so that they can access both the Spelling Shed and TTRS apps. We also ask that you read with your child at least 5 times a week for 5-10 minutes.
