Physical Education

This term, children in year 2 will be taking part in PE sessions on a Wednesday afternoon. Please ensure your child has their full PE kit on this day. 

Reading Books

We encourage children to bring in their reading books everyday, this enables children to take part in paired reading activities and change them when needed. We also ask parents to read with their child each night.

Basic Skills & Reflection Time

We have a commitment to Basic Skills in Year 2, everyday we plan for a range of activities to develop Numeracy and Literacy skills, aside from general Literacy and Numeracy lessons. This also includes our morning spelling sessions that follow on from your child's previous phonic sessions. We are also use games to develop maths skills in the afternoon.
