Welcome

Welcome to Year 2. This is a very exciting time for our pupils, as they really reap the rewards of the solid foundations laid in EYFS and Year 1. They are encouraged to work more independently, and acquire many new strategies that will support them as they make the transition into Key Stage 2. This final year in the Infants is full of exciting opportunities for our pupils to build their confidence.

Please visit the website regularly to check for any updates. We will also post information, photos and videos on Class Dojo.

Homework

Reading – Children should read to a someone at home 4 times a week and have this recorded in their reading diary. This should be a quality 10 minute read.

There will also be a reading challenge for each of the holidays too.

Online Apps – Passwords and usernames for our online apps are the same as previous years. This is the same username and password for Spelling Shed. If you require a reminder, please send a Class Dojo message about this.

Spelling Shed – Each child has tasks assigned to them. Please ensure that your child logs on for at least 10 minutes a week to practise their phonic spellings.

TT Rockstars is optional but it’s always good to practise. https://ttrockstars.com/
