Learning

We expect to have a safe, respectful and engaged learning environment, with children developing their learning skills and enjoying their learning. 

The school day starts at 8.45 and finishes at 3.15.  

Writing 

Our writing is inspired by some fantastic texts such as Tin Forest, Traction Man and Pattan’s Pumpkin. These texts also link to our enquiry lessons. The children will develop their creative writing skills and grammar over the year. We encourage the children to take pride in their learning and there will be a big focus on handwriting this year. Please continue to practise weekly spellings throughout the year and test your child regularly. 

Reading 

We encourage parents to read at home daily. They should read for at least 15 minutes in the evening. It really helps to develop children's learning if they are asked lots of questions about what they have just read. Please remember that this can be any book at all as we encourage children to develop a love of reading. 

Children's books will be changed on a Tuesday.  Please ensure children bring in their book bags on a Tuesday.

Enquiry 

Over the course of the year, Year 2 will have 7 different enquiry questions. These questions will form the basis of our enquiry teaching.
The questions we will answer this term are: 

Term 1: Behind the Scenes?  

Term 2: What could Traction Man’s playground be made of? 

Term 3: How do plants grow? and How do we live a healthy life? 

Term 4: Who is important to my city? 

Term 5: What is home? 

Term 6: How are schools the same? 

Homework 

Homework is set every Thursday and should be handed back in every

Children will have spellings every week.

P.E 

Children may wear their P.E kit for the whole day each Tuesday.  This should be a t-shirt in their house colour as well as shorts or jogging bottoms, and trainers or daps. 

We are really looking forward to the year ahead :)
