Welcome to Year 2.
Please click on the icon below for information about Year 2 Phonics Screening.
We hope that you and your children have had a very enjoyable Christmas break, and we would like to welcome everyone back to the start of a new term.
The day for Year 2 pupils will start at 8:40am and finish at 3.15pm. Children will enter and leave school through the KS1 door on the front playground. Late children will need to report to the main office.
The Spring term is always a busy time for children in Year 2. In English, we will be learning about stories by the same author and we will be writing reports and recounts. We will also be applying a range of punctuation in our writing too. In Maths, we will be beginning to apply our arithmetic knowledge to solving problems while also securing knowledge of counting forwards and backwards in ones, twos, fives and tens. Across the Spring term, year 2’s topic will be ‘Rumble in the Jungle’. In Science, we will be studying living things and their habitats and what we need to survive and in Geography children will begin to locate the hot and cold regions of the world and will use geographical language to create directions. In Art, children will be using different tools and materials to recreate art in the style of Henri Rousseau. In History, we will study the famous Amazon tribes, past and present, and in DT we will be designing and preparing our own fruit kebabs using fruit that originates from rainforests and jungles.
PE sessions for Class 2 will take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
Please ensure that children have the correct PE kit in school at all times as these sessions may be flexible. Should you wish, PE kit can be purchased from the school office. Please can we remind parents that no jewellery should be worn in school with the exception of stud earrings, and in line with Health and Safety guidelines these should not be worn on PE days. Children may be asked to remove earrings before PE sessions.
Children in Year 2 will receive weekly maths and English homework, in homework books and online via Purple Mash and My Maths. Spellings will be given out on Friday and tested on the following Friday. Children are still expected to complete their reading comprehension homework and questions are usually found inside the front cover of their reading book. Children should complete at least one comprehension per week.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher, who will usually be available at the end of each day.
Thank you in anticipation of your continued support.
