Homework

Year 2 will receive homework on a Friday. It should be completed and returned by Wednesday the following week. 

Children will be given a sheet with either a maths activity or reading or writing activity.

Please ensure reading is happening as much as possible. Little Wandle books will be changed on a Monday and choice books will be changed on a Tuesday.

Reading

The most important thing is that children read every day. Reading books and journals should be in school every day. We will endeavour to change them every Tuesday. Remember, one book is for rehearsing fluency and the second book is to share and read for pleasure. Don't forget to sign your child's journal each time they read so they can earn their Reading Ambassador awards. 

25 reads - Bronze award

50 reads - Silver award

75 reads - Gold award

100 reads - Reading Ambassador

P.E

P.E is on Monday and Tuesday

On these days your child can wear their full PE kit into school. A full PE kit is a red t-shirt, black shorts and black trainers. We do not allow children to wear pumps during PE so please ensure your child has trainers. If you do not have a full PE kit please come to school in your normal uniform and change into your PE kit before the lesson. No jewellery is allowed in PE. This also includes studded earrings. If your child is unable to remove their earrings, then please send them in with plasters to cover them up.

Water bottles

It is important for all children to have a water bottle in school everyday. These should be clearly labelled with their name and class. 

Look at all the things we learn about in Year 2!
