Welcome to Year 2!
Our Learning This Term
- Writing: We will using ‘The Owl who is Afraid of the Dark’ by Jill Tomlinson for our writing this half term. It is a heart-warming story about a young barn owl who learns to overcome his fears with the help of new friends and experiences.
- Maths: Our focus will be on Addition and Subtraction and Shape.
- Geography: We will be learning to locate the different continents, the poles and the equator. We will compare the features of hot and cold places, identifying similarities/differences.
For more details, please see the Year 2 curriculum overview.
Reminders
- A named water bottle must be brought in every day and taken home for washing.
- PE kits should be in school on Mondays. Year 2 will have PE on either Monday or Tuesday.
- All uniforms must be clearly labelled.
Reading
Reading regularly at home is proven to increase your child’s confidence, fluency and accuracy and expand their vocabulary. Please ensure you are listening to your child read at least 5 times per week. It is very important to discuss the book with your children to ensure they understand what they are reading.
Important Information
- Book bags must be brought in daily. Even just a few pages at home each day helps build fluency.
- Children receive fruit and milk at morning break, but they may bring in their own healthy snack (no nuts).
- School starts promptly at 8:50 am (gates open 8:45 am). Arriving late can make children feel unsettled and impact their learning.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to ask!
Miss. Adamson and Mrs. Wright.
