Welcome to Year 2 2026-2027

Miss Mainprize is the Class Teacher and Miss Laitl is the Teaching Assistant in Year 2. Mrs Gething will teach Year 2 on a Wednesday afternoon for PPA cover. 

Here is some information you may find useful:

Creative home learning is set at the beginning of every half term. The creative home learning grid is uploaded onto the school blog, Seesaw and a paper copy (stuck into your child's blue home learning book) will be sent home. The home learning activities are to be completed and uploaded to Seesaw at your own leisure or presented in your child’s home learning book. Additional home learning may be given/set to reinforce and consolidate learning taught in school. Home learning may be differentiated to your child’s ability based on ongoing formative and summative assessments. Please ensure home learning books are in school every Friday so that children can recieve feedback on their homework and any additional activities can be stuck in. 

Please use Mathletics and WRM 1-minute maths at your own leisure.

Reading books (Phonics books which contain a number e.g. 3.2 and colour book banded books) and reading records will be monitored each week so please ensure they are brought to school every day. Your child must read their reading books at least 3 times to develop their reading fluency and comprehension. Reading/phonics/library books will be changed on Tuesdays. 

PE will take place every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon in Autumn 1. Please make sure your child has any earrings taken out on these days. This half term we are doing yoga and gymnastics. Due to health and safety, trainers cannot be worn for gymnastics. Pupils will be doing these sessions in bare feet. If you would prefer, black PE pumps can be sent in to wear for these sessions instead. These can be kept in school all year. 

During Autumn 1, Year 2 will have forest school on Thursday mornings. Please make sure they bring appropriate clothing to school for this and that they have a waterproof. 

Please ensure your child has a clearly labelled 'water' bottle in school daily and a waterproof coat. Sun-cream and a sun hat may be needed on certain days (weather dependent).
