Amy Dowden Class - Ms Durrell - Year 2

Simone Biles Class - Miss Lorraine - Year 2

Welcome to our Year 2 Page.  At the bottom of this page you will see a curriculum newsletter outlining our learning for each term. 

Our classes are named after Famous people who have a disability - some hidden.

Helping our teachers this year will be Mrs. Lakey, Ms. Rhodes and Ms. Cullen.

Simone Biles will have outdoor PE on a Tuesday afternoon and indoor PE on a Wednesday afternoon.

Amy Dowden Class will have outdoor PE on a Tuesday afternoon and indoor PE on a Wednesday afternoon.

Please make sure the children come with appropriate PE kits, including safe footwear and no jewellery or earrings are allowed to be worn on these days. Please also make sure that as the weather changes warm clothing is provided for outdoor PE lessons.

Homework:

We ask that every child reads at home at least five times a week. This needs to be recorded in their yellow reading record so we can track how often children are reading. A 'read' should consist of the child reading to the adult (with support where needed) and a discussion being had about the words, images or any overarching storyline. The children will also take home a reading for pleasure book; this is a book to share and can be read by the adult- please do discuss the contents of this book too. Although we appreciate it can be a challenge to find time, those children who do engage in this at home make more significant progress throughout the year in all areas of the curriculum. 

In addition to this children will receive Phonic or Spelling sheets that focus on the sound or spelling they have learnt in class that week. The children understand the process of this. This is to embed the new sounds or spellings they have learnt and ensure they are not forgotten. Finally, we will be handing out log ins to Numbots and TTRockstars this is a fun gamified website where children can have fun and practise maths skills. A couple of sessions a week would be great! 

I have attached the curriculum Newsletter for the Autumn Term. This Document explains what the children will be learning about from now until the Christmas holidays. Please do have a read through and ensure to check Class Dojo for any further updates.
