What to expect in Year 2

Improving Language and Maths Skills

Welcome to Year 2! Your child has now entered an important stage of their primary school experience: this is the year of the Key Stage 1 (KS1) end-of-year attainment tests known as SATS, which mark the end of their KS1 journey.

For many parents, this can feel like an emotional time, as their child prepares for their first formal testing and reaches the end of their stage as an infant. While you do need to be mindful of the end goal for this year, it is also important to see it for the wonderful year that it is.

The final year of KS1 will see your child being encouraged to work more independently. At this age, most children will have improved their ability to coordinate movement and their language/speech will be increasingly complex and grammatically correct, so it’s an exciting year for children, parents and teachers. This guide will help you to understand what your child will be learning and suggest helpful ways in which you can support them at home.

Hello 2C and 2G

We hope you are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead, filled with exciting learning and fun.

Reading

You should be reading every day (if possible), little and often really is the best option with 5-10 minutes every day being a great starting point. Research into learning shows that the more that you develop your comprehension skills and understanding of vocabulary the better you will do in school across the whole of the curriculum. School reading days will be every Tuesday and Thursday. However, please bring your reading book and reading record to school everyday.

P.E days will be on a Tuesday and Friday. On these days your child can wear their PE kit into school.

Please wear appropriate P.E kit to school to as some sessions will be outdoors unless weather does not allow for this.

Homework

Homework will consist of reading at home at least x3 per week alongside reviewing your weekly CLIC , Learn It and SAFE challenges. Optional online activities include the use of Seesaw and Purple Mash. If you have any questions please ask a member of the year 2 team.

Spellings

Spellings will take place every Thursday. These will be completed during their phonics lessons on whiteboards allowing them to review, practice and apply their phonetic knowledge.

Additional spelling tasks will be set on Purple Mash.

Seesaw App

Please do continue to use this app to share any learning that you have completed at home or to get in contact with us.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us via: a message on Seesaw, phone call to the school or popping into the school office. We look forward to working with you on your child's education this year.
