Year 2
Welcome to Year 2.
I am Mrs Lewis, your class teacher and Miss Peterson and Mr French are our teaching assistants. Mrs Roberts also teaches our class on Thursday afternoons.
Here you will find lots of information and pictures of the lovely things we have been doing in class.
It will also be updated with class news and links to websites that you may find helpful to support your child's learning.
Homework will be handed out on a Wednesday and needs to be returned by the following Wednesday.
Spellings will be tested on a Friday and new ones will be given out on a Friday.
In Year 2 we will be doing a whole class read and an individual read every week. I have put your child's reading day on the front cover of their reading diary, but if your child wishes to change their book they must have their diary signed and place their book in the box in the class ready to be changed.
The children were very successful in their learning in Year 1 with your support in reading, spelling and homework and we look forward to another great year working together to help the children succeed in their learning.
Thank you for your continued support and co-operation.

Year 2 Autumn Curriculum Newsletter
Year 2 Yearly Topic Overview - this document contains a brief overview.
These are the key objectives for the core subjects of English, Maths and Science as indicated in the New Primary Curriculum 2014
Katie Morag
In English, we have been exploring some of the Katie Morag stories by Mairi Hedderwick. We have enjoyed discovering the different characters. We have learnt that Mairi Hedderwick is very good at using her illustrations to add detail to her stories. We looked closely at the story being told through the pictures.
We have written character descriptions, made predictions, and asked lots of questions about the wonderful books in the series. We are making good progress with our writing as we continue to explore the exciting stories about the antics of Katie Morag.
