Welcome to Year 2!
Mr. Buckley will be in Year 2 this year and here is the place to check what we have been up to throughout the year. You will find information about the year group expectations for Year 2 on the curriculum overview page as well as useful information about the curriculum, phonics and mental maths. The aim of this class page is to update it regularly with activities and events the children in Year 2 have been doing.
We look forward to sharing some fun and excitement with you throughout the year...
Quick Information for Parents/Carers
PE Kit - Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday. Please ensure pupils have their PE kit in school on those days. It is best to leave it in school, so it is always there. PE Kits consist of the coloured t-shirt, black or navy sports shorts and trainers with good ankle support. Staff cannot tape children's earrings so please don't send children into school wearing earrings on PE days. Kits will be sent home if they need washing or at the end of a half term.
Homework - Homework will be set on a Tuesday to be returned the following Monday. Pupils will have 2 homework folders and will be swapping between them to give adults in school enough time to check through homework. If your child is struggling with the activities, please help them and if you are still struggling, please contact Mr. Buckley on Class Dojo.
Book Bags - Children need to send in their reading book every day. There may be times we get to read with pupils during the day and bookbags ensure children always have their reading books in school. We will also use them to send any letters home so please check them regularly.
Science - Planting
Over the past couple of weeks we have been looking at how seeds are dispersed. It has been great to see how the different types of seeds travel to start growing in new places.
World Book Day
The Friends of All Saints put on an excellent event and Year 2 enjoyed looking at all of the wonderful books that had been donated. We were all so excited to read.
Author Visit
As part of World Book Day celebrations, the children were treated to a visit from Sean Perkins. He has written his own books based on Oscar and Ben and enjoyed talking to the children about their dreams and his new book.
Art - Painting Skylines
Children in Year 2 spent the afternoon creating silhouette artwork. We really enjoyed getting the paints out and using our own personal sketchbooks to showcase our incredible painting techniques.
First Forest Session
Year 2 children really enjoyed getting back down to the forest. After two weeks of getting used to the new routines, it was great for us to get out and about in the forest where we had chance to play some team games and practise those fundamental movement skills through play!
