Curriculum links and resources:
Reading
Your child can change their book every day should they wish to do so. We encourage children to change their books at least once a week and would encourage parents to read with their child as often as possible. Reading logs will be sent home for you to make a note of the book your child has read at home, comments about how they read and any problems or progress you feel your child has made. The children will also have a comprehension activity to complete once a week. We encourage parents to complete this with their child in order to talk through the text and to help them complete the questions.
On Purplemash there is the Serial mash section where I have assigned a book with activities for your child to complete.
You can download below a recommended reading list for Year 2 pupils. These books are widely available from most book sellers.
You may also wish to subscribe to Oxford Owl for additional free reading material:

These common exception words are being used for Year 2 spellings. If your child has mastered all of the Year 2 spellings, I have attached the Y3/4 spellings so they can start practicing them.
Our Power of reading text this term will be ' Traction man'. This is a graphic novel that presents a story using pictures and text similar to a comic. We will be basing our literacy learning around this story. It is an engaging text and the children really enjoy the different format and learning about superheroes.

Sports day will be on Tuesday morning at the Oval sports centre, Bebington. Please can your child wear their navy PE shorts with the colour top corresponding to their team colour. If you don't have a t shirt in their colour please let us know and we will lend you a bib with the corresponding colour.
Please can you ensure your child is wearing sun screen before coming to school and that they have a sun hat to wear.
Please ensure they have a drinks bottle containing water, to ensure they don't become dehydrated.

Homework
Every day, first thing in the morning, we will be completing Fluent in five questions with the children. I have uploaded the week's slides should you wish to go over the questions at home.
Homework
Reading: Reading books will be changed as and when the children bring them back into school. Please ensure you listen to your child read at least once a week. Reading for pleasure books will also be sent home every week if children return the previous book. I will also send home a comprehension activity once a week for children to complete. Please support your child with this homework to ensure they answer the questions confidently and correctly.
Homework will be set each week using the Purplemash platform. I set a number of tasks for children to complete. The children can pick which tasks they want to do but I would suggest that they complete the Maths and English tasks as these will often be linked to work we will be doing in class and will support their learning.
