PE:
On the day that your child is having their outdoor PE session they must come to school in their PE kits. During winter months, please ensure your child also has their school jumper. On your child’s indoor PE session, they must bring their PE kit to school to change into.
The school P.E kit worn should be as follows: their house-coloured t-shirt, school jumper and unbranded black or navy bottom. Please ensure children are not wearing jewellery on their PE day or are able to remove these themselves as an adult cannot for them. Please make sure clothing is appropriate to match the weather as often our PE lessons will be outdoors. Please make sure everything is labelled, as we do not want the children to lose any belongings when changing for P.E in school.
Please see below a timetable of your child's PE sessions:
| Class | P.E Lesson (Indoor) - bring PE kit to school. | P.E Lesson (Outdoor) - wear PE kit to school |
| 2B | Friday | Tuesday |
| 2L | Wednesday | Thursday |
| 2H | Wednesday | Thursdau |
Reading:
As you are aware, reading is a key part of our curriculum and developing a love of reading is at the heart of our school. In Year 2, we encourage the children to read daily (where possible) but expect that Y2 pupils read twice a week minimum. The children’s books (their levelled reading book and reading for pleasure book) will be changed on a Monday and Thursday and reading diaries will also be sent home on these days to be recorded in. Please bear with us whilst we benchmark the children's reading levels at the beginning of term.
Homework:
Homework will consist of the following:
Reading (as per above), spelling and times table practise (this can be on Times Tables Rockstars or using alternative methods). Please find your child’s Times Tables Rockstars login details in their reading diary.
Spellings will be sent out half termly (however some children may be given an alternative spelling list based on their phonics assessments from Year 1). We will do a spelling review and a 2’s, 5’s and 10’s times table check on a Friday. We will be sending home this book on a Friday for you to see the children’s scores. Please may this be returned on Monday. Children should practise their spellings and times tables throughout the week.
Snacks and water:
We encourage your child to bring in a healthy snack (not crisps or chocolate) to enjoy during their breaktime and all children to come to school with a water bottle (containing water only, not squash or juice) which can be refilled throughout the school day.
We hope that this information is useful in supporting your child at home and please do contact any of the Year 2 team should you have any queries.
