The class 2 team
In class 2 we have an amazing team of teaching assistants that work alongside myself (Miss Williamson) including Miss Woods and Mrs Root. Miss Woods is with us all week during both mornings and afternoons. Mrs Root is with us on a Monday and Tuesday.. If there is anything you ever need, please feel free to catch any of us on the gate in the morning.

My email address is below should you need to speak to me directly.

Reading

Year 1s and 2s - you will have a packet that contains a reading book and a yellow diary. Please aim to read with an adult 4 times a week and get them to write in your yellow reading diary.

Homework

This Summer term, the children will be asked to complete 1 topic challenge, 1 maths challenge on 'Freckle' and 1 spelling challenge on Spelling Shed. Please click on the 'Homework Challenges' tab for additional information regarding the homework set.

Homework is due in on a Wednesday.

Spellings
Spellings will be found on DB primary under the 'Spellings' tab and will be tested every Friday.

The children now have access to a new app called 'Spelling Shed'. You will find their log in inside of their reading logs. Each week, I will set them a new spelling challenge to complete. Please head over to the spellings tab for instructions on how to access spelling shed.

Times tables
Times tables are also tested on a Friday. Multiplying will be a new concept for many children in my class and therefore will only be tested once I have taught them how to multiply. I will make a note inside of their reading diary once they are ready to be tested. For those children who were part of my multiplication speed test last academic year and for any children who are confident with the concept of multiplying, we will be restarting from the 2 x table again. This way I can check how well the children can recall facts from previously learnt tables. 

PE

Our PE day is on a Wednesday so please send your child in wearing their PE kit in the morning. Most of our PE lessons will be outdoors this term so please send your child in wearing weather appropriate clothing.

Below is the whole year overview for Class 2. It lists each of the topics that will be covered over each half term. Some subject areas cover a term so may start slightly later in the first half term.
