Welcome to Year 2

Welcome to Year 2!

We have an exciting year ahead, full of learning, growth, and fun. I’m looking forward to supporting your child as they develop new skills, build confidence, and explore a wide range of subjects.

Reading at Home

In Year 2, reading is a key focus, and I encourage all children to read for at least 10 minutes each night. Please log this in their Reading Record. They will bring home three books each week: a phonics book, a library book, and an Accelerated Reader book. Please ensure library books are returned on every Thursday so they can choose a new one.

Homework

Homework will be given every Friday and should be completed and returned by the following Friday. The homework will often include a mixture of revision tasks from past lessons and activities that build on what we've learned that week. It is important that children complete their homework to reinforce their learning and build their skills.

Maths Home Learning

Every Monday, a new maths assignment will be set on MyMaths, to be completed by the following Monday.

PE

Children have PE every Friday, so please make sure your child comes to school dressed in their PE kit.

I'm looking forward to a great year ahead and working with you to support your child’s learning and development. Let’s work together to ensure your child has a happy and successful Year 2!
