Welcome to Year 2

Welcome back! We hope you have had a lovely break!

This half term, we will be looking at toys and games from the past and comparing them with the toys and games we have today.

In Science, we will be starting our term long topic of Animals—including humans.

During this topic we will look at lifecycles of different animals, before moving on to human nutrition and exercise.

In Art, we will be focusing on Architecture, Drawing, Sketchbooks, Collage, and Making, as we design and create structures in class,

Phonics will continue in the same format as Y1, where the children will be taught in streamed groups across Y1 and Y2. 

Your child will read twice a week in school. Please read 4 times a week, at home and write in the planner. Books will be changed when they have been read at home and at school. Please ensure books are in bags every day as there may be opportunities for your child to read independently throughout the week. 

We will be continuing with the class library scheme. Books will be sent out on a Thursday, and will be changed every Thursday each week. 

Our PE days, this half term, are Mondays and Wednesdays.

Please make sure PE kits are in school at the beginning of each week. PE kits consist of an indoor PE kit - yellow t-shirt, blue shorts, pumps, and an outdoor PE kit - unbranded jogging bottoms/leggings, an unbranded hoody/jacket, trainers and a plain t-shirt.

Earrings must be removed for PE, either in the morning or before a session, if your child can remove them and replace them themselves. 

We are looking forward to a successful year with you and your child.

Mrs Holt and Mrs Kerns
