Welcome to Year 2

Dear Parents/Carers,

It has been an absolute pleasure welcoming your children back to school and into Year 2. They have settled really well into their new classes and are already showing a great attitude towards their learning and being part of our school community.

Working with the children in each class will be:

Class Teacher                           Teaching Partner

Jupiter class                Miss Ware                                 Mrs Beal

Pluto class                   Miss Porter (Mon & Tues)      Mrs Oliffe

Mrs Lorimer (Wed-Fri)           Mrs Bramfitt

Mrs Haberfield will work in Jupiter class on Wednesday afternoons. Mrs Owen will work in Pluto class on alternate Tuesday & Friday mornings.

We hope you find the following information useful;

• Please ensure all items of school uniform, including PE kit, are labelled clearly with your child’s name.
• Each class will take part in PE lessons twice a week. Usually, PE is held on the same days each week but occasionally these need to change, so it is important your child has their PE kit in school every day.
  • Jupiter class Monday and Friday
  • Pluto Class Tuesday and Wednesday
• Please can all children bring a named water bottle to school every day.
• Reading books will be changed every Monday where the children will be given a book to read throughout the week, giving all children the opportunity to practise reading and develop their understanding of the books that they have read.
• Please read with your child as often as possible. This should be an enjoyable experience for you and your child, reading to them is just as important as listening to them read.
• Our enquiry this term is ‘Where in the World Are We?’ We will be learning about the local area and where we are within the UK and beyond.
• An exciting new enquiry this year for Year 2, is Space. We will be having a special visitor to make this experience more real and magical. Watch this Space!!
• Learning times tables is a whole school focus. To support your child please practise the 2, 5 and 10 times table with them.
• Spellings will be sent home every Monday. These will follow the ‘rule’ we are learning that week, please practice these.
• We would love to have some ‘Mystery Readers’ in each class. Can you help?  Click on the attachment below:

We look forward to getting to know you and your child over the course of the year. If you need to get in touch with us, please use our year group email address [email protected]

Many thanks for your support.

The Year 2 Team.
