Year 2 Information
Homework
English/Maths
English and Maths homework will be set on alternate weeks and topics are set to consolidate children's learning at school. Encourage your child to complete this independently and support where necessary. The homework will be given out on Fridays and should be returned by the following Wednesday.
Reading
Children are expected to read at home each day. Your child will receive a new reading book every Friday. Please bring it back on the following Wednesday. Ask your child questions to help improve their comprehension skills and understanding of new vocabulary. Reading records will be checked each week so it's important parents record a brief comment and date each time their child reads.
School library books will be issued and changed every Friday.
Spelling
Spelling homework is given out on a Friday and tested the following Friday. These words will follow a phonic programme and cover the high frequency words and Year 2 common exception words.
Times Tables Rockstars
Every child should have a log in and should be practising their times tables weekly, focusing on the 2x, 5x, 10x, 3x and 4x tables.
