Our PE days
Indoor PE is on Wednesday. The children can bring socks with grips if they wish, otherwise they will need to take their socks off in the hall.
Outdoor PE is on Friday.
Year Two Home Learning
Please read every day.
In your child's book bag there will be a new library book every Friday. Library books are for you to share and read to your child. They will often be beyond your child's current reading ability.
There will also be different Read Write Inc books linked to our work in school. These books are for your child to read to you.
We recommend re-reading books several times as this has been proven to build fluency and confidence.
When the children finish Read Write Inc, they will begin to take home accelerated reader books. They will take a 'star reader quiz' every half term to give them a ZPD. This allows them to choose books at an appropriate level. Each time they read a book they can take a short quiz to check their understanding. Adults will help them with this.
*** Please remember to sign so we know you have been able to read with your child. Thank you.
Numbots and Times Tables Rockstars for Maths
A letter will be sent home with your child's login for TT Rockstars and Numbots (the log in details are the same). Numbots practises key Maths skills with lots of repetition so children are super confident. Times Tables Rockstars is to support the children in remembering the multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10s. We use Numbots and/or Times Tables Rockstars in school regularly. However, we recommend children play on this game for 5 minutes a day at home as well.
Oracy Homework
Each week your child will receive an Oracy homework via Parent Mail. If your child has siblings, the homework is the same. Please enjoy the activities set and Mrs Gilbert will follow up on the activities as part of the Oracy assembly on Thursdays each week.
