Information for Parents
Homework - Maths
Maths Homework is set on a Friday and is due back as soon as it is completed.
Return by the Thursday at the latest.
Homework - Reading
We would like you to listen to your child read for 10 mins at least 5 times a week.
Please record each reading session on the Learning With Parents digital reading log – a weekly link will be send directly by text or email.
We aim to change their book regularly. There is value in re-reading a book to gain deeper comprehension, fluency and enjoyment.
You can also record books from your own bookshelf that your child reads to you.

Spelling Test is on a Wednesday.
The new list is given out on a Wednesday and practice sessions are set up on Spelling Shed which go live on the same day.
PE Days
Year 2 have PE lessons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Your child will need to come to school dressed in weather appropriate PE kit on these days.
