Enabling children to flourish and succeed

Year 2

Dear parents and children,

 

Welcome back to school and to our year 2 class page. 

 

Your child should have a reading book and reading record to take home

each day (we will aim to swap them as required – please let me know if a book change is overdue). I would appreciate your support with regular reading at home and would expect that all children read for at least 10 minutes, 5 times per week – I will be incentivising children to encourage them to engage with this as confident reading supports learning across all elements of the curriculum.

 

Spelling patterns will be learnt in school and there will not be weekly tests with word lists to learn at home. However, I have included the year 1/2 word list which lists the words that children are expected to be able to spell by the end of year two and I will send home a list of 5 words so you can keep a track of the words we are learning. You might like to practice these at home and perhaps keep them near any chalk boards or magnetic letters you have.

 

Our PE days in year 2 will be on Mondays and Tuesdays and on these days, your child should bring in their PE kit (green PE T-shirt, black shorts/leggings/jogging bottoms and green school jumper/cardigan/fleece) in a bag. Please ensure that trainers, shoes and bags are all labelled to avoid any mix-ups!

 

For safeguarding reasons, the gates to the KS1 playground will remain closed until the end of the school day – please wait by the gate and enter the playground to collect your child once they are opened by a member of staff.

 

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to see me in the play ground at the start or end of the school day – or leave a message for me to contact you if that is preferred.

 

Here’s to a fantastic year 2!

Kind regards

Mrs Rolls-Drew (aka Mrs RD), Miss Leeder and Mrs Adams.
