Welcome to Year 2

Ms Courtney, Miss Bray and Mrs Fayi are all so excited to be teaching your wonderful children this year and cannot wait to get stuck into some fabulous learning.

Homework, reading books and spellings are sent home on a Friday. Please make sure your homework and your reading books are returned back in to school for the following Wednesday. Spelling tests are on a Friday, and your teacher will send your child's spellings score to you through your reading record. 
 

Our PE days are on a Wednesday and a Friday. Please make sure your child is wearing a suitable PE kit. In our uniform policy, this states that there are no logos on clothes or trainers. Earrings will need to be removed for these days, unless recently pierced (6 weeks).

What We're Learning

Details of the Year 2 learning journey can be found here: Year 2 - What we're learning

Please note, this page will be updated termly, so please keep checking back.

Autumn Term

Our topic this term is 'Fire and Ice.' We will be looking at the seasons, weather patterns and the historical event of The Great Fire of London to delve into this topic. We will be reading the book, 'The Squirrel and the Lost Treasure and 'Lost and Found' in our English lessons. These books are beautifully illustrated to inspire the children. 

For reading, your child will have a book to read at home. Please return the book on a Tuesday, so it can be changed and returned for Wednesday. 

Do listen to your child daily please. It makes a huge difference to their reading ability and confidence. Remember, even if your child is not reading, listening to stories exposes them to language that they would otherwise not hear. It is vital that you read to them to support their ability to write. 

In Maths, we will be learning about Place Value, Addition and Subtraction. 

In Place Value, we will be learning to  count and write numbers up to 100, and will locate numbers on a number line. We will partition numbers into their values of tens and will learn to count in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s.

The children will use a variety of resources to help them in their math's lessons, including: base 10, ten frames, numicon and counters.
