Welcome to Year 2

We have two classes - Amber and Sunset

Amber class teacher is Miss Moore, supported by Mrs Winspur.

Sunset class teacher is Miss Orrick supported by Mrs Jadav and Mrs Westwood.

We will be teaching six main topics this year.  Each will start with a ‘Big Bang’ to excite the children for the learning to come and will end with a celebration of their achievements.  This may be sharing work with another year group, a celebration class assembly or a special event.

We will endeavor to change your child’s reading book three times a week and the children will also have access to Monster Phonics eBooks.  There may be occasions when the books are not changed. If this happens here are some ideas of what you could do at home instead:

• re-read the book that they have been given
• write a book review about the text
• write about one of the characters (if it is a story) encouraging them to use adjectives
• respond in writing to comprehension questions that you have asked e.g. Why do you think Goldilocks broke into the Three Bears house?
• Read a book from your home library or on the computer

Each class will have two PE sessions a week which will be on Mondays and Wednesdays. Your child needs to come to school wearing their PE kit.  Monday’s sessions will be outside so your child will need trainers and warm clothing such as a track suit.

Homework will be posted on Google Classroom on a Friday each week and should be completed by the following Thursday.  

To help the children practise their maths skills they will take part in the ‘Buzz Time’ challenge every Wednesday.  They will be challenged on number bonds and times tables.
