• Curriculum

Welcome to our Year 2 class webpage.  We will use this page, the school Instagram and school Facebook page to showcase the children's learning throughout the year. 

Other links include key skills and resources that you may find useful to support your child's progress this year.

Staying Sharp with Maths:

It is important for children in Year 2 to recap over skills they learned in Year 1.  Some of these topics may not be revisited until later in the year so it would be brilliant if you could support these maths skills at home. 

Money -  counting amounts of money up to £1       

Shape - identifying 2D and 3D shapes 

Time - telling the time :  o'clock and half past

Zones of Regulation:

In our RSHE lessons, we have been exploring Zones of Regulation . There are 4 zones - red, yellow, green and blue and each zone reflects emotions and feelings for the children. We are discussing each zone every week and identifying ways we can regulate our emotions.

We have looked at Green zone where children feel happy, content, focussed and ready to learn. The children loved our movement break which is something they can use if they need to stay in the " Green" zone.

In the blue zone, we might feel tired, sad, sick or bored. To move back to green, children might listen to music, hug a teddy, take a rest, have a cold drink, do our dragon breath and our movement breaks.

We discussed feelings in the "yellow" zone e.g. worried, silly, confused , nervous. We looked at ways of slowing down and returning to the "green" zone which might include drinking cold water, taking a break, going for a walk, butterfly hug and rainbow breathing. Rainbow breathing is a lovely activity to return to calm.

I've added a link to some of their favourite movement breaks which may be useful at home too.

I got that rhythm!

Reading:

Children are expected to read 5 times a week and bring their reading record to school each day. Every time your child reads, please record this in their reading record as we check these daily and give the children a stamp. 

Home Learning:

Numbots     Children should be using Numbots daily to improve number bond recall. 

Spelling Shed  Every week the children are given a spelling assignment to consolidate class learning.

Collins Ebooks  Every week, a book your child has read with the teacher in reading lessons will be assigned for you to read together.

Please inform Year 2 staff if there are any difficulties with logins or accessing a resource and we can sort the problem.

PE Days: Tuesday and Friday;

               Children wear their school PE uniform to school on those days. 

Snacks: 

Children are provided with fruit or vegetable options daily in class for morning snack. 

You can purchase toast for the term for a small charge.  If your child is having toast, there is no need to send a snack in.

If you wish to send a snack in, please choose a healthy option (they can bring in a small treat on a Friday).  Please note that we are a nut free school so please check labelling carefully for presence of nuts to ensure safety for all.
