Year 2 2024 - 2025

Miss Moss, Mrs Collantes and Mrs Preston wish you a warm welcome to Year 2!

Miss Moss will be teaching Year 2 Monday to Thursday.

Mrs Collantes will be teaching Year 2 every Friday. 

Mrs Preston will cover PPA and teach Year 2 on a Thursday afternoon.

This half term, our school value is Responsibility and we are thinking of how we can show this value in school and at home. 

In English, we are learning about what it is like to be at the seaside, in line with our Geography unit this half term. Later on in the term we will be reading the story, Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty

Please do check Dojo regularly to see what we will be doing this half term and for any important updates you may need to know. If you need to get in contact with myself, please do so via Dojo or else at the beginning or end of the school day. 

Reading 

Did you know children that are able to read for 20 minutes a day get exposure to 2 million words each year! 

In Year 2, we love to read. We will be spending much time reading together and independently exploring different genres of books. Children are also expected to read at least 3 times per week at home which should be recorded in their yellow reading records by an adult. Reading records will be checked and books will be changed on a Wednesday.

Spellings

Your child may receive spellings which they are expected to practise at home. Spellings will be given out each half term. Children will be tested in school on a Wednesday. 

P.E

P.E will be every Monday with Miss Moss. Please send your child to school wearing their P.E. kit. This should be a plain white t-shirt, school cardigan or jumper (which can be taken off for P.E.) and black shorts. No hoodies please. In colder weather, children can wear black jogging bottoms or leggings. Children should wear trainers or pumps.
