Homework Expectations

Reading: Children are expected to read out loud to an adult every day. Parents/carers are requested to sign home reading records to confirm reading. We ask children to bring their reading book and reading log in every Thursday to send home on a Friday.

Spelling: Each week, we learn new spelling rules in school. The children are given a spelling task every week and are tested on their spellings the following week. Scores are sent home weekly on their new Spelling sheet.

Timetables: Children practise their times tables every day. This can be done through chanting, songs, videos and through the use of Times Table Rockstars. If you have miscplaced the login, please contact school.

Year 2 Curriculum Overview

We use sequenced modules to activate prior learning, build on skills and deepen knowledge AND understanding. Learning, vocabulary and content is cumulative; content is learned, retrieved and built upon.
