This half-term our topic is called Towers, Tunnels and Turrets where the children will be given the opportunity to learn about a range of castles and what it would have been like to work inside a castle. Also, they will be going on a very exciting trip to Warwick Castle where the children will be exploring the castle walls, jobs inside the castle and the many features of the castle. 

This half-term PE will be on a Monday afternoon and Swimming on a Friday morning. Therefore, please ensure that your child's full PE kit is in school. For more information regarding this half-term learning, please see the Autumn term overview that is linked below. 

Homework - Your child will receive a piece of Maths or English homework; this will be set on a Friday.  This homework should then be returned to school by the following Thursday so that it can be marked and feedback can be given. Please encourage your child to complete their homework as independent as possible.  If there are any issues regarding homework please come and see me and I will be happy to assist you.

Times Tables - In Year 2 we will be learning to count in 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s. It is advised that you practice your child’s timetables as much as possible to aid mathematical development and fluency.

Reading– Please encourage your child to read every night for approximately 10minutes. This then needs to be recorded in your child’s reading record. In class, we will check all reading records and issue stamps to those children that read. Children will be sent home with a phonic book (which is levelled at their current phonics stage) and a Reading for Pleasure book, which is to be read and shared with parents.  In Year 2 we promote a love for reading, and it is a way of improving reading, writing and imagination skills.

In the event you did not attend the Meet the Teacher meeting, please see the PowerPoint presentation attached below. 

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