Please note that our curriculum overview for this term is at the bottom of the page.
Whole Class Read
We will be practising our comprehension using a range of previous test questions on several different texts.
Key Information:
Please aim to read with your child at home three times per week, as they will earn a reading raffle ticket for every three reads! In school, an adult will read with your child once per week and change their Rhino Reader book once each week too. In addition, children have ownership over their 'sharing book', which they can change themselves and pick which book they'd like to read.
We are trying to boost vocabulary within our writing in Year 2, so if you come across any powerful vocabulary whilst reading with your child, please ask them to note it in their reading record.

P.E. and Library
Please wear P.E. kits on a Thursday. Thursday will also be our Library day.
Homework
Your child will be bringing home a home learning choice sheet next week which we ask that you complete over the duration of the half term. We will also be sending home a list of the common exception words that Year 2 children are expected to learn. We will not be testing the children on these spellings but we actively encourage children to use these words in their writing throughout the year.
My Maths
This week the mymaths learning tasks are on fractions, which the children have learnt recently.
Have a brilliant weekend!
