Welcome to Year 2!
Welcome to Year 2! We have had a busy few weeks settling into Year 2, completing lots of team building activities and focusing on our school and classroom rules. We have focused on our rules of being 'ready, respectful and safe' as well as settling into new routines for lessons. The class pages will be updated in due course when we are in full swing of our projects.
Key Dates for the Autumn term:
- Meet the Teacher information 2.45pm (this will be approximately 15 minutes)
- Thursday 23rd October - End of term 3.15pm
English
In English we have been practising basic sentence writing and letter formation. We have been retelling classic fairy tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood. Our main focus for this is to ensure accurate letter formation, using phonics for spelling and accurate capital letters and full stops.
Maths
In Maths we are currently exploring Place Value of numbers to 100. We are looking at what makes a 2-digit number and how these 2-digit numbers can be partitioned into 10s and 1s.
P.E
Our PE days are on a Monday and a Friday; please make sure that P.E kits are in school on a Monday and that earrings are taken out on a P.E day.
During the Autumn Term children will be completing the P.E units fundamentals and Cricket.
Our Fundamentals unit focuses on basic skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching.
Our Cricket unit involves learning key cricket skills such as striking and fielding and is led by cricket coach Vik.
