Dear Parents and Carers

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and tell you a little bit about Year 2.

Curriculum:

This term our topic is ‘Animal A-Z’. We have included more information on our curriculum topic web.

Reading:

The children will be given a levelled reading book from the classroom. These will be changed by an adult weekly. Children should bring their reading book and reading diary in their bookbags every day to ensure adults can access these throughout the week, as required. There will also be books online for the children to read at their level. The books are connected to our phonic scheme, Rocket Phonics. We ask that the children read four times a week for ten minutes. The children will have a reading record, and we ask that parents or the child complete this after a reading session.

Spellings:

The children will be given spellings on a Friday, which they will then be tested on the following Friday. These are based on the work we have be doing in phonics or common exception words that children need to learn in Year 2.

Homework:

Children will be given a homework book to record their home learning. This could be English, Maths or topic based. Homework will be handed out on a Friday and must be returned the following Thursday.

PE Kits:

This year our specific PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. Please can we ask that your child has a full PE kit in school from Monday to Friday. The PE kit needs to include a red t-shirt, black shorts, trainers and hoodie/joggers for when the weather gets colder. We will send their PE kits home every half term to be washed.

Water Bottles:

Please provide a named water bottle for your child as they will always have access to their water bottles in the classroom and children are encouraged to drink regularly. We can refill them as required.

Morning drop off’s and picking up:

Please bring your children to the classroom gate in the morning and pass on any messages related to the day. Please come to the classroom door to pick up at 3.15pm. If your child attends after-school club, we will take them.

Apps and websites to help your child:

Google Classroom - We will use the App to share any extra or important information or work samples.

White Rose Maths App – this is a great, free App to use with your child to help with arithmetic.

Rising stars – Rocket Phonics – You will have a login to access reading books and activities.

We are really excited to teach your children and to meet you. There will be class meetings on Monday 23 September 3.20-4.15pm and Thursday 26 September 3.20-4.15pm to find out more about Tiger Class. If you have any questions, please pop and see us and we will do our best to answer them.

Kind Regards,

Mary Kilpatrick and Chloe Rowland.
