Y2A 2019 - 2020

Mrs Arnold

Hello Year 2A,

Here are some reminders about the year ahead -

Year 2 A's PE day is Tuesday. We are very lucky to have LFC coaches teaching us PE for this term.

Swimming

Year 2A will be going swimming every Friday throughout the year, if you have any questions about the type of kit required please ask. Swimming is part of the school curriculum, so children must swim each week unless there is a medical problem, in which case the teacher must be notified by a parent/carer.

Homework

Homework is given every Friday and will include activities to secure learning from the week and will be based around English and maths, as well as short multiple choice quizzes based on their knowledge organiser.

Reading

Reading is a very important aspect of learning. Please send book bags into school everyday along with the Accelerated reader book, which has been sent home. When your child has read their Accelerated Reader book, they will complete a short quiz and then change their book independently. To achieve a sticker in your reading record, remember to read 5 out of 7 nights. Stickers will be given out each week. Reading eggs is also a great app which allows your child to develop their reading in a fun way! Your child's reading eggs password can be found in the front of your children's reading record. You can access reading eggs via a computer, tablet or smart phone.

Maths

At the end of year 2, children should be confident in their 2, 3, 5 and 10 times tables. All children have access to Times Tables Rockstars, an app which can be downloaded on most devices and can support the children in consolidating their knowledge of these times tables. Your child's Times Tables Rockstars login and passwords can be found in the front of your child's reading record.

Knowledge Organisers

Below are your child's Knowledge Organisers for their current topics. Your child is introduced to these at the start of a topic and they refer back to them during their lessons. You can use these at home with your child so they know what they will be learning and do further research if they wish.

Most of all, we are here to learn as much as possible in Year 2, so any help and advice you require about reading, homework or anything concerning school please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Mrs Arnold
