    • Year 2

    Welcome to Year 2!

    A very warm welcome from the Year 2 Team – We hope you find our page useful!

    About Us

    Our Brazil Class team: 

    Miss Hatley teaches every day.

    We have fabulous teaching assistants who work across the week:

    • Miss Croft (every afternoon)
    • Mrs Spahiu (every morning)
    • Mrs Howard (Monday and Tuesday)
    • Mrs Allsopp (Wednesday to Friday)

    We also enjoy fun music lessons with our specialist teacher, Mrs Scaber. 

    General Reminders
    • Reading books and reading records need to be in school EVERY day. We change reading books on Fridays. 
    • Please make sure your child has a coat in school every day, whatever the weather is like in the morning! Thank you! 
    • Our PE days are Monday and Friday so please make sure your child has a full kit in school that day. 
    • Please include trainers and leggings/joggers in your PE kit so that we can go outside as much as possible. 
    • Please make sure jumpers are named and regularly checked as names fade!
    • Please provide a water bottle with fresh water every day.
    Homework
    • We send home a reading book every Friday. You will keep it for one week.
    • We expect your child to read at least 3 times a week.
    • Please write in the Reading Journal every time you read at home.
    • There are suggestions for activities you can do in the back of the book.
    • Please use the questions at the back of the book to check if your child has understood what they have read. 
    • Spellings also go home on a Friday. These are linked to the phonics we are learning that week and may include some tricky words (sometimes called common exception words; those words that are not phonically decodable). 
    • We do a spelling check on the following Friday. 
    • We would also like children to play on Times Table Rock Stars regularly.

    Please read our Curriculum Letters so that you can help to support your children's learning.
    We publish a new one each term so you can see what your child is learning throughout the year.
