WELCOME TO
Our Year 2 Class
My name is Mrs Chadwick and I am the Year 2 teacher. We are very lucky to be supported by Ms Hughes, who also works closely with groups of children.
This year, we have lots of exciting learning planned – you can find out what we will be doing by clicking on the ‘Long Term Plan’ button below.
PE: Y2 will be doing PE on a Thursday afternoon – please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit for the day.
At Holy Cross, we are incredibly passionate about fostering a love of reading in all children. We also know how difficult it can be to choose reading books for your child, which is why we have created ‘recommended reads’ for each year group. Click on the button below for more information.
Many thanks,
Mrs Chadwick
Reading
- In Y2, all children are expected to read for their RWI book for at least 10 minutes each day.
- We would also encourage parents/carers to ask the children the comprehension questions which can be found at the back of each book.
- We will collect book bags in each Thursday so that we can make sure that books are changed and sent home again, each Friday.
- In Y2, children also have access to Read Theory, which is an online reading platform.
Maths
- In Y2, all children are expected to complete at least 5/10 minutes of Numbots or Timestable Rock Stars each day.
Spelling
- Each Friday, we will send home 6 spellings for your child to practise. The following Friday, there will be a spelling test focusing on the words that have been sent home.
As you know, reading is a huge focus in our school and it can have a fantastic impact on children’s learning across the different curriculum areas.
In Y2, reading records should be completed daily by parents/carers.
