Welcome to Year 2
Where learning is fuelled by creativity
Being the eldest year group in Key Stage One (Infants), this is the year where children take on new responsibilities and complete their KS1 SATS. We use all of the wonderful learning from our Key Stage One journey, as well as the brilliant new learning we will be doing in Year Two, to really show everyone how fantastic and unique we all are. We still love to play and get really creative!

Your child will be given a STAR learning homework grid at the start of each term, with a range of project-based learning activities for your child to do at home. This is to give all children the opportunity to shine and get excited by learning, in whichever area their strengths are. You can help as much or as little as you like – even grannies and grandads can get involved!
Please remember in EYFS and KS1 we expect parents to be hearing their child read their decodable phonics book at least 3 times a week. Your child should read this book fluently and with expression. A sharing book will be sent home each week for you to enjoy reading with your child. This can be written in as a read with your child into their reading diary or any books from home you have enjoyed together. Our teachers are always eager to find out the reading interests of their class. Please remember it is important you sign your child’s reading diary as these are checked regularly by your child’s teacher.
Spellings are assessed on a daily basis through games and in the children’s writing. It’s really helpful for children to practice spelling their common exception words with you at home. We will also be reinforcing the Year 1 Common Exception Words as well (found on the Year 1 area)
