Year 2 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Year 2

Welcome to Year 2's class page. 

We are looking forward to updating our gallery to show you what we have been up to and the work that we are proud of.

Things to remember.... 

• Reading books are changed weekly with an adult. 
• Children may also bring home a 'Reading for Joy' book from our library. This book is a book for you to read and enjoy with your child. 
• Spelling rules are sent out each Friday to practise at home.  Children do not have weekly spelling tests, rather we look to see if children can apply the learnt spelling rules in their writing. After the October half term holiday your child will also bring home a page of Maths or English homework to complete. This should be returned to school by the following Wednesday, or earlier if completed.
• During the year Children also need to learn how to spell the words from the Year 2 Common Exception Word list, which is in the files sections.  You might like to learn a few of these each week to compliment the learning in class.
• Please remember to read with your child daily and record this in your child's Reading Diary. 
• This half term, PE will be on a Wednesday and Friday.  Children are to come into school in their P.E kits wearing trainers on these days.
• Bring a water bottle to school every day to keep hydrated.
• Your child may bring a healthy snack (nut free) or snack money in a named purse/wallet for toast.
