Welcome to Year  2

 

Homework

Homework for Year 2 includes daily reading and number bonds. The children should also be practising their spellings at home. As part of homework, the children will receive Homework books, either Literacy or Maths on Friday to complete at home. 

Spellings

In year 2, the children start to use the Read Write Inc 'Get Spelling' booklets, which they continue to use throughout their time in our school. Children are given new words to practise on Monday and then work on different spelling activities throughout the week. They learn rules surrounding the spelling and learn to apply these spellings to their writing. Words which the children find 'tricky' they will write in their red books and practise these at home.

Home Reading Books

Your child should be reading every day at home. This will develop both their reading and writing skills. Each child is expected to take reading books home and they must be kept in good condition. Pupils have a Reading Record. Parents and carers are expected to sign this and make a comment.

Please ensure that you support your child with their homework by:

• Hearing them read daily and signing their reading record
• Support them in reading and understanding their spelling words.
• Using the local library or the internet to support your child with their learning

Book Bags

These bags should be brought to school each day. 

Library

Every Friday your child will have an opportunity to choose a book from the school library. Please ensure this book is looked after and returned to the school library when finished. Lost or damaged books will be charged for.

P.E.

We will have P.E. on a Thursday with our sports coaches. Children need to bring their full school P.E. kit, which includes navy blue shorts, white t-shirt, plimsolls/trainers and jogging bottoms. ALL kits need to be fully labelled, in a bag, with your child’s name and year group.

We will also have dance for a half term during the year. More information about dance will be sent home before lessons start.  

Other

Please make sure your child attends school regularly and on time every day. School gate closes at 8.35am every morning. At the end of the school day please collect your child at 3.20pm from the Key Stage 2 playground. Please make every effort to collect your child on time. Any child not collected by 3.30pm will be taken to the after school club and you will be charged.

If you have any queries or concerns about your child, please do not hesitate to contact the school office to arrange an appointment or email Mr Jones directly.
