Welcome to Year 2!
In Year 2 we aim to develop a safe, happy and enjoyable learning environment where everyone is able to thrive and make progress. We try to link as much of our learning as possible to our enquiries and you can read about upcoming learning in our termly curriculum newsletters and curriculum overviews.
We believe that it is really important to build a team around your child and that your involvement in their learning is essential. To this end we invite you to several events during the year; the first will be a meet the teacher – where you can meet us, ask questions and find out how we can all work together this year to support and ensure a happy and successful Y2.
We hope to enrich the children’s learning with a number of trips, visits, visitors and special events. Last year was a very successful year with the children loving the different range of enquiries taught. Our enquiries encourage them to see links with different areas of learning and see how this is real and exciting giving both knowledge and an understanding of learning for life.
Your support of Blended Learning is vital to help your child to fulfill their potential. We ask you to hear your child read and encourage them to develop a love of reading, reading both school texts and reading for pleasure. Talking to your child about their learning and encouraging them to develop their interests is also crucial. We will continue to make use of Bug Club to support reading, Purple Mash and TTrockstars to support learning.
It really helps your child’s learning to be ready each day. Help them to remember to bring their reading book, reading record and blended learning book every day, and PE kit should be in school at all times. We would like to encourage your child to drink fresh water daily so please send in a named water bottle, this has been proved to help concentration and learning. We don’t have room for backpacks on our pegs in Year 2 so do make sure your child has a school book bag.
If you need to speak to us with questions or other issues then catch us at the end of the day, or pop into the office to leave a message or make an appointment.
Thank you for all your support.
Mrs Perry, Miss Swinburn and Miss Heathcote
