Miss. Curry Mrs. Robinson Mrs. Wilson
Welcome to Year 2!
Welcome back after the Summer holidays. We hope that you had a great rest and are ready to continue learning. This term we will build upon all the knowledge and skills learnt in Year 1.
We have carefully planned many exciting learning opportunities across the curriculum, to ensure that you grow and develop to your full potential. It is our aim that you love learning, love coming to school each day and feel confident in your environment to take chances in your learning and to achieve success- academically, socially and emotionally.
We are here to help and support you, your happiness is our priority and we will do everything in our power to always be there for you, not only the staff in Year 2 but also everyone else across the school. Please talk to us if you ever have any questions or worries, together there is nothing we can't work through.
Our topic this term is: What makes us happy and healthy?
Our Pathways to Write texts this term are:
The Troll Swap by Leigh Hodgkinson
Poetry: The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear
The Christmas Pine by Julia Donaldson
In Pathways to Read, we will be reading the text The Troll by Julia Donaldson. These books link to both our English texts, and our wider curriculum lessons, and will help us to develop our understanding of the topic. We can't wait to share these exciting books with you.
In Maths, we will be learning about place value and addition and subtraction. As always we will use concrete, pictorial and abstract methods.
Our PE days are Mondays and Thursday. Children will need a named kit in school at all times. We sometimes have extra P.E. sessions or change our sessions around, so this is really important. We send home kit each half term to be washed. Please make sure children have a white top, black or white shorts and pumps or trainers.
Homework and Reading
Homework will be sent home on Fridays. Each week we will send home a Learning Log task and a piece of Maths. Homework is due back by Wednesday.
Please read with your child as often as possible, every day if you can. Please write a comment in the yellow diary eg. Did they enjoy it? How well are they blending? Could they retell the story? Could they discuss the character’s behaviour? If you are in a rush though, just a signature will do.
The more practice your child gets, the quicker your child will become fluent. Please keep the reading book and yellow reading diary in their book bag and send it in every day. Each week, your child will receive two new reading books. These will either be matched to our RWI scheme or carefully selected to align with their based on our PM Benchmarked assessment.
If you have any questions (however big or small) please don’t hesitate to contact us.
