Summer 1 half term

A very warm welcome to you all as we continue our adventure in learning together through Year 2!

Important information

On PE days (Mondays and Wednesdays), please can the pupils come to school in PE kit, including trainers and Hollinhey jumpers. 

Taking the time every day to read with and listen to your child, and discussing the content of the text, will have a hugely beneficial impact on your child's learning and progress. I recommend listening to them read each weekday. Reading to them is also important so they can hear how an experienced reader reads.

We read every day in school. We do whole class guided reading, small group guided reading, individual reading and reading in our English and other lessons. We will record the small group guided reading sessions and 1:1 reading in the reading records. Books will be swapped on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please send your child’s reading book and reading record to school every day.

Homework is set every Wednesday and should be completed for the following Monday. Homework includes daily reading at home on weekdays, a weekly English or Maths activity, as well as online activities on Spelling Shed and Maths Shed or TT Rockstars. Pupils may need support to complete homework. Theme enrichment actvities will be provided each half term, so you can share in your child's learning if you would like to. 

Please send water in the childrens' bottles and a healthy snack for breaktime. A fruit or vegetable snack is provided during afternoon break.

Our learning this half term

This term, our Year 2 class is diving headfirst into an exciting new science topic, ‘Would you like to be a zoologist?’, that will ignite curiosity and spark wonder. Get ready to explore the fascinating world of living things and their habitats!

Throughout this topic, we'll be embarking on a thrilling adventure through the natural world, uncovering the secrets of plants, animals and the environments they inhabit. From lush rainforests to mysterious ocean depths, we'll discover diverse habitats around the globe, learning about the unique features and inhabitants of each.

Our exploration will be guided by exciting fieldwork, engaging activities and captivating discussions. Through observation, investigation, and discovery, we'll deepen our understanding of the intricate relationships between living organisms and their surroundings.

There are lots of details in the documents below, and more details on our curriculum page here.
