Welcome to Year 2

Summer Term 1

As we head on into our final term of this academic year, please find key information about what your child will be learning over the next 6 weeks.
 

Reading

Group reading books will be sent home weekly, unless your child is now reading the ‘fluency books’ which stay in school. Year 2 children are responsible for choosing their own ‘shared reading’ which can be changed whenever these books have been read at home or if the children just fancy a change! Please record any time you read with your child in their blue reading record book and ensure plastic reading folders are in school every day.

Phonics and Spelling

As always, phonics lessons take place daily. Children are split into different groups based on their phonics needs. Follow the link to find more information and helpful videos to help you support your child with their phonics at home. https://coveinfantschool.co.uk/phonics-and-early-reading/ .

If your child has completed the Little Wandle phonics, they are now having daily spelling lessons. Please click on the document below to access all of the spellings that are taught throughout the units.

Project - Discover New Zealand!

The children arrived to an unusual setup in the classroom – it had transformed into an aeroplane! The children had a wonderful flight and arrived in Auckland, New Zealand! Throughout this Geography led project, the children will identify New Zealand on a map and describe its location referring to the continent, ocean and equator. They will learn about human and physical features of New Zealand and create their own map of the island. They will also learn the 4 compass points and use these to explain how to travel around the island.
