Class Dojo

News and updates are posted for parents/carers on our Year 2 Class Dojo page. If you don't currently have a Class Dojo login, please ask Miss Neild for one!

 PE

Year 2's PE day is Tuesday. Please ensure children come to school in their PE kits on this day every week. They will spend the whole day in their PE kits so no change of clothes is needed.

Our St. John's PE kits should be a plain white top, plain dark shorts/pants and dark trainers. School jumpers or cardigans can be worn over the top.

Reading Books

We encourage children to read everyday. Children have a home reading book carefully matched to their level of fluency and understanding. It is important that children bring this book to school each day.

Once they have finished reading the book, please discuss the text with your child and explore any questions which are suggested in the book to help develop their comprehension skills.

Miss Peterson will change books every Monday and will add any stars for reading on their Oscar reading reward chart. 

Here are some resources which may be of use at home as part of reading practice:

• Oxford Owl Free e-books for children

• Monkey Pen Free e-books for children

 Homework

Homework will be given out each Friday in the form of a Maths or English activity on 1 side of A4.

Spellings

These are sent home every Friday and the test will be the following Friday, so the children will have a week to practise.

Children can also practice spellings on Purple mash. If children log on at home, they can learn their spellings through a set task that the teacher can see. Please encourage your children to use this fun way of learning their spellings. Logins can be found in the front of children's reading diaries.

Please practise the spellings regularly at home.
