Arrival/Depart

Year 2 doors open in the morning at 8.45 am. We start the day with a number fluency session at 8:50  and we will complete the register at 9.00 am. Gates are shut at 9.00 am prompt. School ends at 3.20 pm.

Reading books

We change reading books on a Wednesday. The children put their books in their table box by the door when they arrive at school. The books are changed once a week. This allows the children to read the book multiple times building confidence and fluency. 

Please can you read at least 3 times a week with your child and record this in their diary. 

PE

We have PE  on a Monday afternoon. It is easier if you bring the children’s kit on a Monday and leave it at school until Friday. Children should wear white t-shirts, black shorts or bottoms and trainers or pumps.

School uniform

All children in school should be wearing full school uniform and black school shoes. Please can you label everything. 

Autumn Term 

 Our Autumn term history topic is Transport. We will be looking at how transport has changed over time. In science we will be learning about materials. 

In Maths we will be focusing on Place Value learning. Focusing on tens, ones and numbers up to 100. 

We will also be revisiting addition and subtraction with a big focus on number fluency using number bonds to solve addition and subtraction problems with numbers 0-100. 

You can support your child at home by helping them to learn their number bonds to 10, 20 and 100. 

Children in year 2 will also be learning their 2s, 5s, and 10 times tables. 

In English we will be using the book ' Mrs Armitage one Wheels'. We will be working on ensuring all of our sentences have full stops and capital letters.
