Routines

Reading books will be changed every Monday and Friday.

Homework will be given every Friday, in your child's homework book, and should be completed by the following Wednesday.

New spellings for all phonics groups will be in the homeowrk books, with the assignments on 'edshed' being activated after the school day.

Please use the tabs above to find out more about what we are learning in Year 2.

Further info

Please could parents work on letter and number formation at home and prompt the correct use during homework, as these will be essential in ensuring your child understands particular aspects of their work fully. I am also trying to encourage correct use of the English language, while in conversation e.g because instead of coz, as this will help with spelling and the children's English writing.

If you find you have any issues with home reading, or want to know further informatiuon regarding reading and spelling/phonics levels please do contact me.
