This term in Year 2

 The children are beginning to settle in to Year 2 with new routines and strands of learning. We have already began learning our 3 times tables and are becoming familiar with non-fiction texts such as non-chronological reports and instructions.

We are very lucky that our first topic in RE is ‘beginnings’ and the children have enjoyed retelling the creation story.

In guided reading we have been deepening our knowledge of the reading diamonds. Over the course of the week we discuss important words from each text and define their meanings, complete comprehension questions, sequence the events in the correct order, make inferences on what we have read and make predictions. These skills will help get us ready for our SATs in May 2019.

In Year 2 I will hand out Maths, English and spelling homework out on a Monday. The Maths and English homework will be sent out in the purple homework book and must be handed in completed on a Thursday morning. The children have this week been given a red spelling book and can keep this in their bag until Friday when they will complete a test in class.

Reading books will be changed on a weekly rota on either a Monday, Tuesday or Thursday. Please read with your child every night and sign their planner when you have done so.

PE for this term will take place on a Thursday afternoon so please make sure your child/children have their PE kits in school.
