PE
In Year 2, we do PE on a Monday and Thursday. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit on these days and has pumps in school for indoor sessions.
Knowledge Organisers
Your child will be sent home a reading book each week based on their reading level. Please read with your child and return the book to school each day. We also encourage children to read a book of their choosing for pleasure.

Reading
Your child will be sent a reading book home each week based on their reading level. Please read this book with your child and return to school each day. We also encourage children to read a book of their own choosing for pleasure. Please record any additional reading in their reading records.
Maths
Children have a log in for NumBots to help them develop their fluency in Maths. Please support your child in accessing this at least once a week. If you have lost your log in, please contact the class teacher.
Spelling Shed
Each week Spelling homework will be set on Spelling Shed.
Children's weekly games and activities will focus on Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar that we have been covering in class.
By the end of Year Two, children must be able to read and spell most of these common exception words:

Topic Homework Linked to Topic
Here are some activities linked to your child's topic you can choose to do at home.
Mastery in Maths
Mastering maths means children of all ages acquiring a deep, long-term, secure and adaptable understanding of the subject. The phrase ‘teaching for mastery’ describes the elements of our classroom practice and school organisation that combine to give pupils the best chances of mastering maths. Achieving mastery means acquiring a solid enough understanding of the maths that’s been taught to enable pupils to move on to more advanced material.
Although we cover new topics each half term, it is important to revisit and review prior learning regularly so that children can build on their learning.
Weekly homework will be linked to what we have been doing in class recently, but it is also beneficial for children to review previous topics regularly - why not use some of the stem Qs below and ask your child to teach you what they have been doing?
