We hope that you and your children have had a wonderful summer break, and we would like to warmly welcome everyone back for the start of a new school year.

The Autumn Term is always an exciting and busy time in Year 2. Building on the learning from Year 1, children will continue to develop their independence, confidence and resilience while taking on new challenges across the curriculum.

​

This year, we will be using the Oak National Academy curriculum to support and enhance our teaching across Year 2. Oak Academy’s carefully sequenced lessons help children build knowledge and skills progressively while making meaningful links across subjects where appropriate. The curriculum is designed to ensure all children receive a broad, balanced and engaging education that meets the expectations of the National Curriculum. In Class 2, children will receive weekly homework and spellings.

 

Homework will be sent out each Friday and is expected to be handed in on the following Wednesday. Weekly spellings are sent out with the homework, where children will be tested on the following Friday. We also encourage all children to read at home regularly to help develop their fluency and confidence.

 

Please can we remind parents and carers that, in line with our school uniform policy, jewellery should not be worn in for PE due to health and safety reasons. Class 2’s PE days will be held every Tuesday and Thursday. We kindly ask that all clothing is clearly labelled with your child's name and class to avoid any lost property.For more information about your child's learning this term, please see our Year 2 Curriculum Overview.

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to me at the end of each school day. Thankyou for your continued support.
