Top tips for Year 2

Reading: Reading books and records can be returned to school any day of the week. We will then change the books and send them back home as soon as possible. Please read books and discuss them together more than once before returning.

As part of our reading we use Accelerated Reader at Upton Heath. Each time you finish a book there will be a short quiz to take to show your understanding. Year 2 are very competitive and there is lots of quizzing happening

Home learning: Home learning will be set on Seesaw each Friday. All children also have their Times Table Rockstar / NumBots passwords (in the Reading Records) and should remember to regularly log on and play.

We also teach phonics daily using Anima Phonics (there is a guide in the middle pages of the Reading Record for you to refer to aswell.

PE: Beech Class will have PE on a Monday with Miss Preston and Thursday with Mrs Lewis. Sycamore and Willow classes will have (all afternoon) on a Friday with Activity 4 All. Children should come into school wearing full PE kit appropriate for the time of year on those days.

Full school PE kit is required – white t-shirt. dark shorts / joggers and jumper. Pumps for indoors and trainers for outdoors.

Please refer to the Knowledge Organisers (see right) for our current topics and what we are covering throughout this half term.

If you have any questions about anything, please do not hesitate to ask a member of the team.
