Welcome to Year 2! Here is some useful information of what we will be doing this term.

 

The Year 2 team is:

- Mrs Bland - Class 2B

- Mrs Azeem - Class 2A

- Mrs Westbury - Teaching Assistant

 

The children will have PE lessons on Monday and Friday, so please make sure PE kits are in school on those days.

Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit. Our PE kit is a plain kit consisting of:

• Plain royal blue shorts or navy-blue tracksuit bottoms (plain navy-blue leggings may be worn if they are changed from leggings worn as part of the full school uniform);
• Plain royal blue crew neck t-shirt;
• Plain navy-blue tracksuit top, hoodie or sweatshirt;
• Plain white or black trainers.
• Earrings should not be worn on PE days. If they cannot be removed, please cover with tape before school.

Please note, the following will not be acceptable:

• Branded clothes (e.g. Nike/adidas), except trainers
• Football kits
• Clothes in other colours

If you have any questions or would like to speak to the class teachers or Miss Sutcliffe (Lower Phase Lead), please contact the office to make an appointment.

Your child will be set Maths homework everyday. 

The children will either complete an activity on Mathshed or play TT Rockstars for at least 10mins.

 

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - TT Rockstars

Thursday and Friday - Mathshed

 

Your child should have been given a username and password for Google Classroom, Mathshed and TT Rockstars. These are in Reading Journals. If your child does not know their login details, please ask their class teacher.

 

Please support you child completing this work.

Please read with your child each day and record this in their reading journal. Reading 20 minutes everyday has a huge impact on their Reading and will support them in accessing the rest of the curriculum.

 

This term the children will complete the following topics:

- Place Value

-Addition 

-Subtraction

 

Please support your child at home by continuing to count in 1s (forwards and backwards to 100 and beyond) and counting in 2s, 5s and 10s to support them with learning the 2, 5 and 10 X tables and corresponding division facts. The children also need to learn pairs of numbers that make 10, 20 and 100 fluently. E.g. 2 + 8 = 10, 12 + 8 = 20 and 20 + 80 = 100.

It is very important that your child reads every day. Please remember to sign your child’s book when you have listened to them read. Your child will be able to change their reading book weekly, once they have been able to demonstrate that they have understood what they have read. This enables the children the chance to increase their fluency and understanding of what they are reading.

The children can also take home another book of their choice from our Year 2 Library. Please read this with your child as well.

 

This term, Year 2 will be learning about materials and their properties. The children will be investigating different materials and their uses. They will have opportunity to take in a variety of scientific investigations.

 

This term, our featured artist is Andy Warhol. The children will be creating self portrait in a Pop Art style.

 

This term the children will be learning about the UK. They will find out about the countries, capital cities and the surrounding seas.

The children will be thinking about friends and families.
