Class Documents & Resources

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.

Homework - Spellings

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.

Remember to remove earrings and tie up long hair before they come to school.

Thank you
