Year 2 Spellings – 09/09/2024

Most children in Year 2 are currently working on phonics. These children will be given opportunities throughout the week to practise their spellings in school before they are tested on Fridays.

Some children are doing reading comprehension as they have completed the phonics program. These children will be bringing spellings home each week in a yellow book to practise before their spelling test on Friday.

Thank you,

Miss Craig and Miss Price

SATs PowerPoint Information

Thank you to those parents who attended tonight’s meeting about the KS1 SATs that are happening during the week beginning 23rd May. I hope the information eased your minds and have provided ideas in ways to support your children throughout the next few weeks.

For those parents who couldn’t attend, I have attached the PowerPoint with the information I shared and have put the link of where you can find examples of previous SATs papers.

If anyone has any questions about the assessments, please get in touch!
