Year 2

Welcome to our Year 2 page which includes all the details to help you and your child know a little about their year group.

Below is a short welcome and introduction to the team and you can follow the tabs below to find out about the curriculum, key information and more.

Miss Wardle is their class teacher this year and she will be supported by Miss Heywood.  Mrs Quinn will be teaching the split Maths and English classes. 

 

P.E

P.E days this half term are Wednesday (Indoor) and Friday (Outdoor). Please remember to name all of your child's belongings, including all of their uniform, indoor and outdoor P.E kit and shoes.

P.E KITS

Outdoor P.E
Children should wear their outdoor kit; trainers (come to school wearing trainers - school shoes are not required on these days) P.E t-shirt, navy blue jogging pants and a navy blue sweatshirt / school fleece (not a hoodie or a zipped jacket as these are dangerous for P.E).

Indoor P.E
Children should wear shorts, a P.E t-shirt and come into school wearing their trainers.  During the Autumn and Spring Term the children should wear jogging pants and jumper / school fleece over this kit so they do not get cold during the school day.  

On our class page you will be able to see what topics we are covering during the year. You will be able to access the class  timetable and other useful information. Keep checking the Class Dojo page too for other information.

 

Snack

Please can you send your child in with a labelled water bottle (filled) everyday. Water bottles will be sent home every night to be washed. 

There will also be fruit available for all children at the morning break time. If you wish your child to bring an additional snack then this must be a healthy option- we do not allow crisps or chocolate at snack time.

Please ensure that you order your child's school dinner each day via parent pay.  

 

Additional Notes

Please ensure your child has a waterproof coat in school or brought in daily as our weather is very unpredictable and the children will be accessing fresh air in all weathers. 

Home Reading:
Reading books are changed weekly by Miss Heywood or myself. Your child should read at least 3 times a week and have their diary signed each time. The children can also access Lexia at home and will be awarded Class Dojo points for reading 3x a week. 
 
Homework
Homework is set on a Friday and handed back in the following Friday. If your child cannot hand their homework in please inform Miss Wardle. Homework will consist of Maths Seeds, 30 minutes of Lexia and home reading at least three times a week. Children can also complete TT Rockstars which will benefit them and highly encouraged to improve times tables recall. Spellings will be sent home on a Friday for the children to learn. They will be tested the following week. The spellings will be on the Class Dojo. 
 
Labelling Clothes
Please can we ask that you label your child's jumpers, cardigans and PE kits so that we can identify them.
 
End of Year Expectations 
You can also access the end of year expectations for Year 2 as an attachment at the bottom of this page as well as a copy of our class timetable and overview of our topics for this term.
