Welcome to Year 2

                                        2021

Walkwise

Year 2 are taking part in the Walkwise program which is led by Anne Ward. The children walk around the local area learning how to cross the road safely, looking for the dangers and finding the safe places to cross the road.

Reading

We expect all our children to read every evening and at weekends. In Year 2, 10 minutes should be a minimum but, if your child can't put their book down because they are so engrossed.... let them continue, that's the magic of reading.  Please ensure you sign the reading logs to confirm this reading is taking place.

Reading Buddies is a great way for children to access reading and develop their comprehension while using the computer. They each have their own log in details and have accessed this at school so should be familiar with it. HAVE FUN!

Homework

Homework is now to be completed mostly online. This comprises of spellings which are on Spellingframe, maths using numbots and ttrockstars and reading on  Oxford Reading buddy where possible. A list of what children have read each week and a one minute video of them reading should be uploaded to class dojo each week.

There may be other tasks given from time to time which will support work in other areas of the curriculum such as topic or science.

Support your children with maths facts at a range of levels. 

Hit the Button is a great resource. Remember to login to numbots and ttrockstars regularly. 

Numbots is great to learn and consolidate number bonds which underpins so much of the maths curriculum.  

SPELLINGS

New spellings will be put onto Spellingframe  https://spellingframe.co.uk/each Tuesday. It would be appreciated if you could spend time, daily if possible learning these spellings. Spellingframe is easily accessible to all, children have spellings to learn each week at their level. 

We have great fun developing our tennis skills with Hannah our coach.
