Welcome to Year 2’s Class Page
Welcome to our Year 2 Class Page. Mrs Rigby, Mrs Luff, Mrs Perrin, Miss Berry and I are so excited for the year ahead. We are going to be very busy learning lots of new things and having fun!
Please find some key information below that you may find useful.
Key Information
Reading
Our reading days will be on a Wednesday and Thursday. On these days the children must bring in their book bag so they can be read with by a member of staff and get their book changed. A new book cannot be given until the old one is returned. Unfortunately, there is a £5 charge for any lost books; this will be reimbursed if you find the book at a later date.
Children are recommended to read their book a minimum of 3 times before they are changed so that children can build clarification, comprehension and fluency. Children are given a reading record, so if you could please comment in the planner when you have listened to your child read.
Children that are on stages 1 to 9 will be sent home with two reading books a week, one phonics book and one Oxford Owl book. Once children move onto stage 10 (chapter book) they will be sent home with their reading book and a comprehension to match.
Homework
Spelling homework will be sent home every Monday. Their spellings are made up of 6 words linked to your child’s phonics for the week and 5 of the Year 2 Common Exception Words. Any additional maths and English homework will be sent home also on a Monday and can be returned any day of that week. Homework is kept to a minimum ensuring the children are given lots of opportunity to read at home.
Water bottles and Snack
It would be brilliant if every child has a named, water bottle in school to enable them to drink as much as possible. Snack is provided for the children in Year 2 so they do not need to bring in their own. However, if they do wish to bring in a snack this must be a healthy snack such as fruit or a cereal bar.
PE
Our PE days for Autumn term are Thursday and Friday. Children will need to come in to school wearing their PE kit on these days. They will keep this on for the whole day. However on Swimming weeks children are to wear their PE kit on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to get in touch,
