Miss Dixon and Miss Wharff warmly welcome you to Year 2 and to our class page!

We have an exciting, fun and busy year ahead, filled with wonderful learning opportunities, new experiences and lots of memorable moments. Year 2 is an important stage in your child's primary education as it is the final year of Key Stage 1.

We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for children's success, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year. Together, we can help every child achieve their full potential and develop a love of learning.

Homework Information:

Homework will be sent out on a Thursday. Spelling and mental arithmetic tests based on the homework will take place on a Thursday. Please make sure children have their reading books in their books every day.

Spellings
Your children will be given a spelling booklet at the start of each term. The booklets are one way that your child can practise their spellings. Using the booklets, children should practise their spellings using the process of Look, Read, Cover, Write, Check. These booklets need to be brought into school every Thursday for your child to complete their weekly spelling test.

Alternatively, your child may prefer to play online spelling games on Spelling Shed. Your child’s spellings will be added to Spelling Shed each week. Please encourage your child to practise their spellings using their preferred method. Accurate spelling is an important part of the process of your child learning to write and so children MUST practise each week.

Reading
Each child will be read with on a Friday morning and reading books will be changed at this time. Children are encouraged to read at least one book each week but if they read their book before their reading day, it can be changed accordingly. Children should bring their reading book into school every day.

Mental Maths
Children will also be given maths homework each week in preparation for our mental maths quizzes. The mental maths quiz takes place on a Thursday morning.
