Welcome to Year 2

Spring term...

it's all about heroes and villains

Our English text will be The Dragon Machine by Helen Ward where the pupils will learn to:

write sentences with different forms: statement, question, exclamation and command

use subordination (apply 'because;, introduce 'when')

use past and present tenses correctly and consistently (some progressive)

read aloud with intonation

use punctuation correctly - exclamation marks, question marks

and ultimately write a story based on the model text.

NUMERACY

We are learning about multiplication and division.  Log in to your Times Tables Rockstars to practise your times tables.  We are covering fractions too.  Practise halves and doubles to support your learning.

READING

Daily reading at Year Two is strongly encouraged to help children reach the required level of speed and fluency.  Reading Records are checked daily and raffle tickets are given to those children who have read.  Each week there is a prize for the lucky winner!  

Reading books, Reading for Pleasure books and Phonics Reading books will be changed every Friday.

PE

Children should have a full PE kit in school at all times.  This should consist of shorts and a T-shirt for indoor PE and trainers and a tracksuit for outdoor PE.
