Hello and welcome to Year 2! We are really looking forward to continuing and sharing in your learning journey this year and have planned plenty of lessons to engage, excite and inspire your learning. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us on our class e-mails and we will be more than happy to support you.  

Home Learning

Home learning will be set on a Friday and will consist of Reading at least 3 x per week, a maths sheet linked to the week's work and handwriting. Extra work can also be found on Timestable Rockstars and Reading Eggs.

Reading Books will be changed weekly. There is a box in each classroom for the children to put their book in. We would like to encourage children to change their book at least once a week to increase their reading fluency. Please can you ensure that you sign your child's Reading Record each time you hear them read. Children will be rewarded through our Reading Rockets incentive every time they read at home.  

Reading Eggs is a great way for your child to continue improving their spelling, reading and comprehension skills. The levels allow children to read a variety of genres and each book has eight different activities to complete, ranging from dictionary work to answering comprehension questions. 

Times Table Rock Stars and Numbots is a great way for your child to practise their times tables and number skills. Logins can be found in the front of your child's Reading Record book.
