We are looking forward to another exciting half-term of learning and fun in Year 2.

Our topic this half-term is ‘Can We Build?’ We have lots of interesting learning opportunities planned. Please see our curriculum overview below to find out more about what we will be covering.

PE and Swimming

• PE: Monday afternoons
• Swimming: Friday mornings

Please ensure your child comes to school with the appropriate kit for these sessions.

Homework

Homework will be sent home every Thursday and should be returned to school the following Thursday. We would appreciate your support in encouraging your child to complete their homework as independently as possible, helping them to develop confidence and take responsibility for their learning.

Reading

We encourage all children to read at home every evening for approximately 10 minutes. Please remember to record each reading session in your child’s reading record.

Reading records will be checked regularly in class, and children will receive stamps to celebrate their reading efforts.

Your child will bring home two books:

• A phonics book, matched to their current phonics stage, to support the development of their reading skills.

• A reading for pleasure book, to enjoy and share together at home.

Times Tables

In Year 2, we are practising counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s. Regular practice at home is highly encouraged, as this will help your child develop their mathematical fluency, confidence and recall of multiplication facts.

Please see the curriculum plan attached below which will provide you with an insight into what your child will be learning throughout the academic year.

Please continue to check our page on a regular basis as it will be updated throughout the year.
