Welcome to Year 2!

Firstly, we want to welcome all the children who will be moving up to Year 2 this year. We cannot wait to work with you all! We thought it would be nice to do an introduction so you know names and routines in Year 2.

Base 3 – Miss Gilbert

Base 4 – Miss Craig

Teaching Assistants – Miss McIlwaine and Miss Tincknell

Homework – all log in details will be available in the back of reading diaries.

Reading – we would ideally like you to listen to your children read 3 times a week. Children have the opportunity to win ‘reader of the week’ each week for their efforts in reading. 

Spellings – spellings will be sent home on a weekly basis and the children will be tested on a Friday. (Week 1 there will be no spellings!)

Maths Homework – every week, there will be MyMaths homework set on a Friday, to be completed by the following Friday. If you are struggling with online access, let us know as we can ensure this is put in a book for you.

Homework Projects – these are set at termly and the children will be given more details about this towards the end of the Autumn term.

Physical Education – children will wear their P.E kits to school on their P.E days so will not need to be in uniform.

Indoor P.E – Wednesday

Outdoor P.E – Thursday

If you have any questions, please ask your class teacher.

Summer Reading Challenge

 

 

 

 

 

This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is Gadgeteers, created in partnership with Science Museum Group and illustrated by top children’s writer and illustrator Julian Beresford. The children are asked to read 6 books throughout the summer and along the way, they can collect stickers and once they have read six books will receive a medal and certificate.

Children can read any books in any format, fiction, non-fiction, picture books, audio books, eBooks and eAudio books via our Libby App.

Visit your local library or follow the link to find out more and to look up book ideas. https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/join-in

Any child who takes part, can bring their medal into school on our return in September and will receive 15 HP! Let’s all get reading!

Year 2 Sports Day

Year 2 had a fantastic time at our Sports Day this morning. All the children enjoyed taking part in the different activities and races and had so much fun. They especially loved watching the parents race!

Leon’s Magic Mantra

What a lovely surprise Year 2 have had this morning! Sarah Griffiths has kindly donated Leon’s Magic Mantra to us so we had to share it during our D.E.A.R (Drop Everything And Read) time today. Thank you so much, Base 3 said it was a great story!
