Class 2G - Year 2
Class 2G - Year 2
Welcome to 2G.
Welcome back after another half-term, we are officially halfway! I hope the children are coming back well-rested and are ready for another half-term filled with fun and endless opportunities to learn.
In English we are reading a wonderful book – we will discover some of the milestones of recent British history and will have many opportunities to write. We are trying to build stamina for writing; if you could encourage children at home to write about places they have been or things they like (using fred fingers to support their spelling). Our English book ‘Major Glad, Major Dizzy’ links nicely with our guided reading book ‘Owen and the Soldier’ which has a rich vocabulary and has excellent questioning throughout to hook the children.
Within power maths, we will be completing our multiplication and division unit and begin learning about fractions and length and height. We are enjoying using resources to support our learning. Why don’t you measure things around your house and bring them in and we can compare them with objects in class?
Please ensure you continue to work on TTRockstars at home to improve fluency with times table facts. (Logins are inside their reading record)

In Geography, we are using our key question of ‘Why is our world wonderful’ to learn about some of the UKs most amazing features and landmarks and to find out where some of the most amazing places are.
PE will take place every Tuesday and Thursday– ensure full kit is in school every week and that each item is clearly named.
All children should be bringing a water bottle into school – we are lucky in Year 2 that we get milk at breaktime, but we have two lessons before this in the morning and learning is thirsty work!
It is absolutely imperative that children are reading at least 4 times per week at home, as we head into this term children will participate in test week and the more they read, the better chance they have of succeeding across the curriculum as they progress through the year.
Important Information
- Book bags must be brought to school daily, try to read at home every day just a few pages to build their fluency. It is vital that children are reading at home and bringing their book bags in every day to ensure that we can read with the children.
- Children receive fruit for the morning break, but they may bring in a healthy snack if they would prefer their own.
- Phonics begins at 9 am, children must be in school on time, if they are late, they will be missing their sound of the day. Coming into school late can leave the children feeling very worried and anxious, ensure they are in school at 8.50 am. The gates open at 8.45 am.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, BUT NEVER LATE IS BETTER.
Please check out the Year 2 overview for this half term to give an insight into what we will be learning.
We have our class assembly to prepare for – which we will perform for parents/guardians on Friday 7th March.
As always, I’m grateful for your continued support and if you have any queries please do not hesitate to ask.
