WELCOME TO YEAR 2

In Religion this term, our topics are Creation and Covenant and Prophecy and Promise.

Mathematics and English

The children will continue to build on their knowledge and skills developed in the spring term, in accordance with the National Curriculum.  In Maths, we will continue to work through the Primary Stars programme. In English, we will mainly work on a text based approach, using a range of picture books and non-fiction texts that link to our topic theme for the term.  In addition, discrete grammar, spelling and handwriting lessons will also be taught.  

PE: Our PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure all earrings are removed before school on these days and that children have their PE kits in school on these days.

Homework

Children will be given weekly homework activities, including spellings, to carry out at home. Homework will be sent home on Wednesday and will need to be returned the following Wednesday.

Parents often ask if there is something they can do at home to support their child’s learning.  Ensuring they complete their homework tasks to the best of their ability, and supporting them where necessary, will really help them to make good progress. Daily spelling practice, using the ‘look, say, cover, write, check’ approach, is invaluable in helping them to learn their weekly spellings.

We simply cannot emphasise enough the importance of continuing to hear your child read at home on a daily basis and in particular, to begin to support the development of comprehension skills, through discussion and questioning. 

The following websites provide excellent online resources to support with homework too:
