Please note that the Year 2 PE day for this half term will be Wednesday. Children should come to school in their PE kit with suitable trainers. Please name all uniform and PE kit as we had so much lost property last year which could not be reunited with its owner.
Please access our class Tapestry page to see photos of activities we are completing in class. Login details have been emailed to you. Please contact Mrs Parr for your login if you have not yet accessed our page.
Our Power of reading text for this term is The Emperor's egg. It is a non-fiction text and facts are presented in a fun and interesting way.
This Week's Timetable
Please download below a copy of this week's timetable which details the subjects being taught and the objectives for every lesson.
Homework
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.
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.
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.
Please click on the link below for a fun game to practice addition, subtraction and division. We will be using it in class, initially to practice number bonds to 20 but you can adjust the settings to match your child's level of ability.

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.
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.

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.
