Year 2 - Summer
Welcome back to another exciting term and the last term of Year 2! We are excited to get started and continue to see the children grow in confidence as the year continues. We have lots of exciting things happening this term; a school trip, sports day and more!.
Mrs Doyle, Mr Witty and Miss Barker are super excited to be teaching you this year! Equally, Miss Davies, Miss Francis and Mrs Newman are very excited to make a good start to the year.
Homework
The children will be given logins for Seesaw, Bugclub and TTRockstars/Numbots (please see links below). They are more than welcome to engage in these as often as they want throughout the year.
Each term the children will be given a piece of paper with nine homework tasks on to be completed over the term. They can post evidence of these tasks on their Seesaw page or bring them into school to show us.
Reading
Reading continues to be a priority this term and we would urge you to hear your child read as often as possible. It is important that the children are also given the opportunity to talk about what they have read and answer questions as this helps them to understand what they are reading. We will continue to hear your child read in school regularly.
English
In English, we will be looking at The Twits. The children will be using ideas from the text to write their own fictional pieces and will also be using the text to explore a range of non-fiction genres. In addition, we will continue to teach phonic skills to enable your child to read with increasing fluency and to spell unfamiliar words.
Mathematics
This term we will be recapping everything we have learnt in maths this year! The children will be doing daily practice of their 2s, 5s and 10 times tables. We will also be continuing to learn the 3 times table. Helping your child to learn their times tables will greatly benefit them, particularly the 2, 5 and 10 times tables.
Science
In Science, we will be learning all about plants and how they grow. We will also recap Animals including Humans to further our understanding.
PE
This half term we are looking at Target Games and Cricket. We are very lucky to have a cricket coach coming in every Monday to teach the children how to play cricket. This is a great opportunity for the children!
PE takes place for the following classes on;
2D – Monday and Tuesday
2W – Monday and Thursday
2B – Monday and Friday
Please make sure children have their PE kit in school and please ensure it is named.
If you have any questions or queries, please let us know, we would be happy to help you.
Mrs Doyle (2D), Mr Witty (2W) and Miss Barker (2B)
