Welcome to year 2 

Click on the image below to view information about Year 2. 

                            We look forward to working with you all over the coming academic year.                                       

TERM 1

Click on the image below home learning suggestions, linked to the Term 1 learning.   We love to see what learning you have been doing at home so please either share it on Class Dojo or bring it to school  to show your class. 

 Reading in Year 2

At the start of Year 2, some children continue with Read, Write Inc lessons to develop their reading skills. If your child is assessed to no longer need daily RWInc or has completed the programme, they will continue with daily reading including guided reading sessions, to develop comprehension, fluency, retrieval and inference skills. 

Spelling in Year 2

Weekly spellings will be sent home on a Monday and also be uploaded o to Class Dojo. These spellings will also be assigned to your child's Spelling Shed account for them to practice at  home.  We do not do a weekly spelling test, but instead will practice the spellings across the week in sentences and then complete a spelling assessment at the end of each term.

Below is a list of common exception words that most year 2 children are expected to be able to read and spell by the end of year 2. We have added a link to help you support your child to learn to read and spell these words at home.  

Please click on the images below for the year 1 and year 2 common expcetion word lists.

ERIC  (Every Child Reading In Class), will take place every Tuesday at  8:40-8:50am, when you are invited to come into class with your child to read with them. One adult per child please.

Here we will post videos of how to support your child with their current Maths learning.
