PE

PE is on a Thursday with Express Coaching.

Children will get changed into PE kit on Thursdays.

No earrings on Thursdays please. Your child will be unable to participate if they are wearing earrings for health and safety reasons. 

Please leave PE kit in a small bag at school. 

Practise getting changed with your child to ensure they are confident with tricky things like buttons, zips and laces. 

PE kit must consist of a white t-shirt, dark shorts/joggers/leggings and trainers/pumps. 

Forest Schools

Year 2 will also be having Forest School sessions on Wednesday afternoons. Please ensure appropriate outdoor clothing is sent into school with your child.

Homework:

Spelling task: We will send the words the children have been practising in class on a Monday. They need to look at the word, cover it, have a go at writing it and then check to see if they have spelt it correctly. We hope to see these words spelt correctly when the children use them in their writing.

Please also keep practicing the common exception words using the word mat in your child's reading diary. 

Maths: Keep practising your number bonds, quick recall of addition and subtraction facts to 20. Look around your surroundings, which numbers can you see? Think about how numbers are made- how many tens and how many ones can you see in 2-digit numbers?

Addition and subtraction- We have learnt how to borrow and exchange tens and ones when working with larger numbers and crossing the tens boundary. Please keep practising this with your child. 

Multiplication and division- We have learnt our 2, 5 and 10 times tables and their division facts. Keep using TTRockstars to practice these.

Reading: Please read with your child at least three times a week and sign your child’s reading diary. Your child will bring home a book on their reading colour or phonics level to read themselves plus a book from the class library to share with a grown up. As always, there are prizes for reading milestones! Reading folders need to be brought to school every day. We will count the reads on a Thursday ready to give out the reading rewards on a Friday.
