Year 2 2019 - 2020

Welcome to Year 2!

The teachers in Year 2 are Miss Johnson (2J) and Miss Patterson (2P). The teaching assistants are Miss Butterworth (2J) and Miss Schofield (2P).

If you’re looking for what we are learning in Autumn 2, you have come to the right place! Please have a look at our knowledge organiser for our new topics. In History/ Geography we are learning about Pirates and in Science we are learning about materials. 

P.E. 

Children in will take part in weekly P.E. P.E. in Year 2 will take place on Tuesdays. Children must come to school in school uniform, they will be given time in school to change into P.E. kit (white top, black trousers/shorts/leggings and appropriate trainers). Please make sure children have the correct PE kit. This can be kept in school in a separate bag.

Homework and spellings

In Year 2, we give out Maths and English homeworkevery Friday. This must be completed and returned to school by Tuesday. Children will also be set activities on Mathletics and Lexia each week. Spellings are handed out on Monday/Tuesday and our spelling test is on Friday. Please make sure your child is practising their spellings throughout the week for Friday’s test.

Reading

Children will be given a reading book to read at home. This will be changed 3 times a week in school. We expect children to be reading at least 3 times a weekat home to an adult. Children will be given a reading record to record when they have read to an adult at home. Please sign the reading recordwhen you have read at home with your child or if they have read independently. 

Times tables

By the end of Year 2, children need to know all times table facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We will practise regularly in school, but it is crucial that children are practising their times tables at home dailyfor rapid recall. To support them with this, please make sure your child is regularly practising on Times Table Rockstars.
