Year 2

Welcome to Year 2! 
 
Who are we? 
My name is Miss Bell and I will be your teacher this year. Mrs Hague is the teaching assistant who will be working with individuals and groups of children throughout the year. 

Reading in Year Two…                                                                                                                                                                      
We love to read in Year 2! 
We start our day with a reading session, where we build and deepen our understanding of different content domains. Reading with your child as often as possible is essential to their progress. We use reading records to keep track of children’s reading progress at home. Please keep these up to date and bring them to school every day with your reading books. Children's reading books will be changed every Wednesday. 
 
Spellings
News spellings will be sent home on a Friday. Please can children practise the spellings by saying them and writing them out. They can also put them into sentences. This will help with their sentence structure and use of punctuation. Some of the spelling’s children will be able to apply their phonics knowledge to help them. Children will then be tested on these spellings the following Friday.  
 
Maths / Wider Curriculum           
 Having a quick recall of number bonds to 10 and 20 is key to answering many Maths questions in Year 2. Also knowing the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Please practise these with your child to help them secure this knowledge. 
In the wider curriculum, your child will be provided with their knowledge organiser that gives children all the essential knowledge they must have to deepen their understanding in school. 
 
PE
Year Two will be doing PE on a Monday and a Friday. Children must come to school in their PE kits. For health and safety reasons, your child should not wear jewellery on these days, especially earrings.  They must have appropriate footwear too. Due to the weather, PE lessons may be indoors or outdoors and this can change regularly.
