Year 2 - 2025/2026

Welcome to Year 2. Come and take a look at the exciting things we are learning about this half-term.

Autumn 1

Reading Eggs and NumBots

We ask that, where possible, children access Reading Eggs and NumBots 2-3 times a week as an extra piece of their homework. Any time spent on these apps will benefit learning. They can be accessed online through webpages or are downloadable as apps. Please speak to your child's class teacher if you have lost your log-in details.

Homework

Homework will be sent out every Friday and is to be returned the following Thursday. It will include weekly spellings and things we have learnt throughout the week.

Reading books

Reading books are to be returned every Monday morning and will go back out as soon as these have been changed. Don't forget to sign the reading record each time your child has read to you.

PE is on a Tuesday afternoon. Please send your children in full PE kit on this day.

English

In English this term we are introducing three new books, Traction Man, The Big 5, and One Day on our Blue Planet. To make learning more engaging, these books also link to our curriculum unit, Where would you prefer to live, England or Kenya?

Maths

We are starting the term with our multiplication and division unit, see the knowledge organiser above for key vocabulary and what your child will be learning.

Guided Reading

Guided Reading in year 2 follows the same scheme as the phonics in year 1. We use Little Wandle Letters and Sounds and the cohort is split into a phase 4 group, a phase 5 group and 2 small intervention groups for those who are still learning early phonics sounds. Above is an example of the books and how we use them.
