AU2 Newsletter 2020

PE this half term will be on Wednesdays. Please ensure that your child comes to school in their PE kit each Wednesday.

The teachers in Year 2 are Miss Riley (2 Rhinos) and Mrs Basar (2 Buffalos). The Educational Teaching Assistants working in our classes are Miss Lord and Mrs Scholey.

Below is a summary of what we will be covering in English this year. For more details on this, and to look at the other work we do in Year 2, please look at our half termly newsletters which will begin in Autumn 1.

English

In Year 2 we will be looking at using different sentence types, consolidating our use of punctuation and using a range of conjunctions in our writing. We will also improve our spelling skills and ensure we are applying the spellings which we know.

In reading we will read a range of genres and complete whole class guided reading activities alongside 1-1 reading with an adult. We will focus on reading fluently, using expression and ensuring children have a range of strategies to decode any unknown words. Additionally, we will look at a variety of questions types to strengthen reading comprehension skills.

Wherever possible, we aim to link reading and writing opportunities to our topic work.

Maths objectives for Year 2:

In our maths lessons, we will be covering many different areas such as:

Interpreting and reading scales
