In Year 2, our teachers are Mrs MacDonald in 2KM, and in 2SH; Mrs Sellers and Mrs Harris. We are also lucky to have our fantastic Teaching Assistants who are Mrs Parsons, Mrs Cripps, Mrs Aravindan, Mrs Turley and Mrs Whitehead. 2KM are very lucky to have their PPA and management time covered by Mrs Morris every Wednesday and 2SH cover the class between themselves.
What Our Week Looks Like
Year 2 parents and carers are welcome to come in to class for our Early Morning Task each Monday and Friday from 8:30am and stay until 8:45am when we begin the day together with a prayer. This is a very good time to talk to your child's class teacher if you ever have any messages, questions or concerns about your child's learning. If you are unable to stay or feel your child will settle better without you during Early Morning Task, then please do not hesitate to speak to your child's class teacher or another member of the Year Two team at home time and we will always be happy to help in whatever way we can.
In Year 2 we have homework each week, we will send home SPaG and Maths books to complete. We will start by just sending home SPaG homework and will build up to having Maths homework too! Homework will be given out on a Monday and must be completed and given in by Friday.
We take home and read our reading books every night. Books are changed on Mondays and Thursdays. It is very important that the books have been read through twice to fully develop our fluent reading of any tricky words and develop our comprehension of the text too. Everyone should be using their yellow Y2 reading bookmark to help with this as it has key question stems to help you think about the book more deeply. Please ensure Reading Records are in daily. We will endeavour to sign and chat to as many children daily about their reading at home as well as listen to children read throughout the day either with their reading book or another text in class lessons.
2KM have Class PE every Monday and Wednesday and 2SH have PE every Monday and Thursday.
Outside each classroom there is a welly boot rack ready to be used. Everyone needs to have their welly boots named and in school for some OPaL fun every lunchtime.
We are looking forward to having a great year together!
