Year 2 are currently Reading...

Our Routines and Homework:

Reading books

We expect the children to read at home MOST school days. The children will bring home a self chosen reading book from their book band and also a guided reading book which they are working on during their guided reading sessions. Please ensure that both books are brought back to school daily as the children will be doing work based on their guided book. It is helpful if you comment in the reading diary once you have listened to your child read. Remember, not only do we want our children to be good at reading, we also want them to comprehend and be able to answer questions about what they have read. The children can swap their self chosen book once they have finished it. Books must be placed in the class box before they are returned to the book shelves by a member of staff.

Spellings

Weekly spellings lists will be given out on Fridays and will be tested the following Friday. Your child may also be given a word card to keep in their book bag. This can be used for reading and spelling practice.

 Maths

Children should practice the Year 2 Key Instant Recall Facts for each half term (KIRFS)  and you may also want to revisit the Year 1 Kirfs. Please see below
