Welcome to our class page

Welcome to our class page! This is a place to find updates, reminds and information to help the school year run smoothly. It is also a place to celebrate the children's achievements and share examples of their work. 

Some important things to start us off this Year: 

• Our PE day is Tuesday - Pupils are to come into school on Tuesday in their PE kits (plain black joggers or shorts and a plain white T-shirt). 
• All earrings need taking out or covering for the PE lesson. 
• Reading books and diaries need to be in school each day.
• Reading books will be changed in accordance with children's RWI groups. 
• Spellings will be handed out every Friday and then tested on the following Friday. 
• Homework will be given out every Friday and will be due back by the following Tuesday. 

Should you have any questions about anything to do with your child’s education, you can speak to myself on the door at the start and the end of each day or via the Class Dojo messenger.

Our Classroom

 

 

English

In English, a new picture book is read each week to inspire learning and discussion. Writing lessons focus on writing retells, using expanded noun phrases to add detail, and using a range of conjunctions to extend ideas. Daily practice is dedicated to letter formation and handwriting to develop fluency and accuracy in written work. 

 

Maths

In Maths children complete daily starter activities that focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. These tasks help to build fluency and strengthen core number skills. Children use pictorial representations to support their understanding and embed key concepts. Alongside this, they regularly tackle reasoning and problem - solving questions, encouraging them to apply their knowledge in different contexts and develop deeper Mathematical thinking. 

 

Curriculum

Year 2 have been learning about inspirational people and the incredible impact they had on the world. They have explored the lives of Florence Nightingale, who improved hospital care and made nursing a respected profession; Rosa Parks, who bravely refused to give up her seat on a bus and stood up against unfair laws; and Martin Luther King J., who inspired millions through his powerful speeches about equality and justice. 

The children have been discussing what makes these people so inspirational, thinking about qualities such as bravery, determination, kindness and standing up for what is right. As part of their learning, they created their own versions of the famous 'I Have a Dream' speech sharing their hopes and dreams for a fairer and kinder world.
