Things to Remember

Children will be provided with a fruit snack if they would like one, but you can provide your child with their own fruit snack for break time if you would prefer. Please ensure that fruits such as grapes are cut into small pieces before being brought into school. Your child will also need to bring a named water bottle to school each day along with their reading book. Phonics/banded books will be changed on Fridays.

Year 2 have a PE lesson each Friday. We ask that children wear PE kits to school on this day.

Home Learning

Throughout their time in Year 2, children are expected to engage in a variety of home learning activities which help to consolidate their learning from the week.

Writing:

Each week, Year 2 children will complete an English activity from their CGP English book. These activities will focus on key grammar, punctuation and spelling skills that we have been learning and practising in class. These activities will be set on a Friday. An in-app message will be sent to let you know which page needs to be completed. Please complete the activity and return it to school by the following Thursday.

Reading:

We would really appreciate your continued support in encouraging your child to read regularly at home. This might mean reading independently, sharing a book together, listening to someone else read, talking about a story, visiting the library or simply enjoying a book before bedtime. Every opportunity to read is valuable.

Reading books need to be brought into school every day so that we can support and monitor your child's reading progress.

Maths:

Each week, children will complete a 10-minute Maths workout from their CGP Maths book. These activities will reinforce the key maths skills and concepts that we have been learning in class. We encourage parents to support their child by talking through the activities together and celebrating their progress. These activities will be set on Friday. Please send these back to school by the following Thursday. We will keep these in school and support your child with any areas that we notice they are finding tricky. 

Children also have access to Numbots to practise their recall and fluency in mental addition and subtraction. They will also have access to Times Tables Rock Stars from the Summer Term, to help them to practise times tables.
