Year 2 2021 - 2022

Welcome to Year 2, we are very excited to have all pupils back in school!
The teachers in Year 2 are Mrs Redshaw (2R) and Miss Patterson (2P). The teaching assistants
are Miss Butterworth (2R) and Miss Schofield (2P).

P.E.

P.E. in Year 2 will take place every Monday.
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). 

In the Autumn term, Year 2 will also take part in Commando Joe every Thursday afternoon.
Pupils will need to have trainers in school for this.

Homework and spellings

In Year 2, homework will be set on Mathletics and Lexia every Friday. The apps will be checked by
the teachers every Wednesday. Spellings are handed out on Monday and our spelling test is on Friday.

Children should also be accessing Times Table Rockstars, Numbots and Myon at home.

Reading

Children will be given a reading book to read at home. This can be changed 2 times a week in school.
We expect children to be reading at least 3 times a week at home to an adult.

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
daily for rapid recall. To support them with this, please make sure your child is regularly practising on
Times Table Rockstars. 

Learning

During Autumn 1, children will be learning about plants in science, weather and seasons in geography and
they will be sketching in art. In English, children will be learning the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and
exploring ‘place value’ in maths. Download our science and geography knowledge organisers to learn some interesting facts!
