Year 2
Week Beginning 24th February 2025.
We have come to the end of the term and are halfway through the year! It has been a brilliant term of learning and we hope that you have a restful break with your families.
Maths
Next term, the children will begin the term looking at shape, space and measure. They will be learning about mass in particular.
English
The children will be focussing on apostrophes, questions and contractions.
Phonics
Next week, the children will be learning to read and spell words containing a and al saying /or/.
Whole Class Reading
This term, the children will be move onto books based around the Great Fire of London. They will read 'Vlad and the Great Fire of London'.
Key Information:
Please aim to read with your child at home three times per week, as they will earn a reading raffle ticket for every three reads! In school, an adult will read with your child once per week and change their Rhino Reader book once each week too. In addition, children have ownership over their 'sharing book', which they can change themselves and pick which book they'd like to read.
We are trying to boost vocabulary within our writing in Year 2, so if you come across any powerful vocabulary whilst reading with your child, please ask them to note it in their reading record.
