MATHS

This term we will be following the White Rose Hub Maths scheme for Year 2. We will start off by focussing upon counting and place value up to 100 before moving onto simple addition of two digit numbers. 

(Please see Maths coverage documents below)

Snacks:

Please could you provide a healthy snack for your child to eat at playtime.

In Year 2, children are encouraged to be more independent and are entrusted to look after their own snack money. They go to the dinner hatch at break time to buy toast and various other items.    There are even bacon butties available on a Friday!  The costs vary, depending upon what is available.

PE:

Kit: Pumps or Trainers, black track suit bottoms or shorts (weather dependent), yellow school t-shirt and black jumper.  

Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in daily, however they will definitely have PE every Thurdsay afternoon.

Reading:

Please read with your child daily as this will have an impact on all areas of their learning.  They have a planner that you can date and record their reading in.  You may wish to write a comment but please do not feel that you have to.

If you wish to pass on a message to me, please feel free to write it in their planner but please ask your child to bring it to me in the morning as we do not check the planners every day.

Spellings:

The children have spellings given every Friday.  They are  tested on a Thrsday morning and given new spellings on a Friday afternoon.  They have a purple book in which to write out their spelling words.  

If your child does not complete this homework, then they will be expected to attend the Friday lunchtime homework catch-up club.  This will be a half an hour session run by either myself or Mrs Lindblad.

Homework:

Children receive a maths based online homework every Friday which will be due in by Friday the following week. Occasionally your child will get paper based Maths homework sheets based upon the topic of the week.

Your child will also receive Grammar homework in their white Grammar books. (I have left the answers in the back, just incase you need to check or mark their work.
