Useful Information
Reading at home | Children are expected to read to an adult at home daily. Reading books will be changed and sent home on a Friday and collected in on a Wednesday. Don't forget to record each time your child has read at home - this helps them climb the reading challenge ladder! |
PE | Children will be doing PE on a Thursday and Friday. Please ensure your child's PE kit is in school during this time. |
Spelling | Please see the list of Year Two common exception words. These are the spellings children are expected to be able to spell by the end of the year. Please find these on the back of your child's homework diary. We have weekly spelling challenges for particular words we may be finding challenging. |
Times Tables | By the end of Year Two children are expected to be confident with the 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables. In preparation for this, ensure your child is confident with exploring numbers and counting in a variety of patterns. |
