General Information

Times of the school day

Classroom door opens at 8:40am

The door will be shut promptly at 8:50am. If the door is shut when you arrive, please take your child to the office and sign them in there :) 

The school day finishes at 3:05pm. Please be prompt in being on the playground ready to collect your child and find out about their day.

School Uniform Reminder

It is expected that on days where your child is not wearing their PE kit that they wear correct school uniform.

Homework

Each week the children will receive spellings and times tables appropriate to their level. These will be in the children's homework books each week.

Please see the Online Help sheet attached below this paragraph. 

SPELLINGS: Your children will be given individualised Phonics group spellings. These will be stuck onto the homework sheet every week. If you require an additional copy of these, please speak to your class teacher.

TIMESTABLES: Your children will be tested on their Timestables every Tuesday.

READING EGGS: Your child is expected to complete 20 minutes worth of Reading Eggs every week. This will be checked on a Friday, the child with the most lessons completed during the week will receive a certificate during celebration assembly. If your child hasn't completed the 20 minutes they will stay in at breaktime to complete it. Please let us know if you do not have a device at home to support this. 

BUG CLUB: This is an optional learning platform that children can use instead of taking a reading book home from school. 

All of the above learning platforms require the internet or chrome. 

We welcome you to the Year 2 Information Page!

Throughout the Spring Term we will be looking at a new context called    'Opposite Attract'

Within this context we will learn all about materials and their properties. To explore this we will complete various investigations. Later in the term, we will be looking at habitats and micro-habitats. 

In Geography we will be comparing geographical locations, we will also be using a compass to help us. We will then discover the Arctic and Sahara Desert and compare the both. 

Within Art we will explore the Artist called Ashavek, using different prints and textures and in R.E we will explore Islam. 

PE 

Year 2 PE days are a Wednesday and Friday.

Please send your child in, in their PE kit. 

A friendly reminder of what your child's PE kit should look like:

Additional learning at home

 You can always carry on your learning, even when at home!  Make sure you read for 10 minutes each day and then record it in your yellow reading record books to show your teachers!

Maths is also all around you!  Can you count the steps in your house?  Add together door numbers?  Measure and weigh food/items when cooking?

Always practise your 2,5, and 10 times tables too!
