Welcome to Year 2!

In Year 2 we are busy learning and growing in independence ready to enter KS2.

What we are learning this term
During Spring term, Year 2 will be investigating how they can deal with change whilst really focusing on the key concepts of resilience, courage, power and strength. These concepts will underpin all subjects in the curriculum and will also help the children to understand the actions and drive of key figures in history. We are also very excited that our residential to Delamere is just around the corner. The children will enjoy hill walking, pond dipping, creating art in nature, a night walk and will grow in confidence and independence.

PE
This term PE is on a Monday and Thursday so please ensure children come to school wearing their PE kit. Our school PE kit is a white polo shirt and black shorts with trainers or pumps. As the weather gets colder, the children are welcome to wear black jogging bottoms and a black jumper/their red school jumper.

Reading
Please send reading books in every day so we have the opportunity to read in school (Books will be changed on a Tuesday and Friday if they have finished their book). Reading is extremely important in our development! We will also be sending home a book from our class library every Friday for you to read with your child (they will have a share with me sticker on them).

Homework
Homework will be sent home via our class dojo and will include reading, spelling work, along with the PackTypes activities.

If you have any questions then please get in touch via email or class dojo.
