Year 2
Welcome to the Year 2!
Here’s to another year of exciting learning opportunities! Here you will find lots of information about our classes, including the things we will be learning about and ideas to help you with your learning.
In our learning journey in year 2, we aim to become curious, independent and passionate learners. We get to experience and enjoy lots of different subjects throughout the year and we gain lots of crucial knowledge along the way by using our heads, hearts and hands. You will find links to our Curriculum Overview and our Crucial Knowledge below.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us,
Miss Finney and Miss Sant
Physical Education: PE will take place every Monday & Friday for both classes. The children need to come to school in their PE kits on these days and it can be worn all day (no need for changing). Hair must be tied back and all jewellery must be removed at home.
PE kit: Plain jogging bottoms (no zips/logos) or shorts and a plain white. Please ensure that children have trainers. As PE sessions may take place outside, jumpers and tracksuits bottoms will also be needed.
Homework: This will be sent home each Thursday and will be due the following Wednesday. Our homework focuses on times tables, spellings and letter formation that the children have been learning in class. If children need any support with their homework, please let me know before Wednesday and we can have a look at it together.
Reading: Please continue to support us by reading at home with your child for at least 10 minutes a night. We will also be reading with the children in school as regularly as possible so books and diaries should be in school every day.
Water Bottles:
Please make sure that children have water bottles and that they are named. These need to be washed every night and returned to school the following day, filled up.
Snacks:
Pupils can bring a small, healthy snack such as a piece of fruit (no chocolate or sweets) to eat during morning break. On Friday, children are allowed a small snack for break, which can include chocolate or sweets, as this is our treat day. Also, pupils will be provided with a piece of fruit if they wish for afternoon snack. We are a NUT FREE school. This is because we have some children have severe nut allergies and this helps to keep them safe.
