Year 2 Class Page - Autumn Term 2, 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to Year 2!  We are looking forward to continuing the hard work started last half-term  This half-term our topics are:

Significant People in History and Animals, including Humans in Science.  We will be reading a selection of non-fiction books to support these topics over the half-term.  We will occasionally send home projects based on these areas of learning, please look out for these!  We will be focusing heavily on addition and subtraction in Maths and we will be looking at instruction writing and sentence structure in Literacy.  There will be a BIG push on handwriting and spellings for the whole class.

We are continuing our hard work and dedication towards the Rights of the Child and we are aiming for a GOLD award this year!  Please discuss the different rights (these can be found on the school website) with your child.  We have a particular focus on articles 15, 16, 22 and 27 this half-term.  Homework will be set on Friday with the expectation that it is returned by the following Wednesday or Thursday.  All children will be expected to complete homework - if you encounter any problems, please speak to a member of the Year 2 Team.  Spelling tests and Maths fluency tests will take place on Friday morning.

The children have 'Reading Eggs' and 'Mathletics' logons.  Children should be spending around 15 - 20 minutes daily on each of these programmes.  These programmes support children in their learning in class and all children should be aiming to achieve a certificate each week.  Reading Records should be filled in on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and brought in on these days along with children's book bags and reading books.

School uniform (red school jumper, grey trousers / skirts, red checked dresses or grey shorts red / white t-shirts in the Summer) should be worn each day including BLACK shoes or trainers.  No tracksuit bottoms or leggings are allowed.

Our PE days are Wednesday (pm) and Thursday (am).  The PE kit (black bottoms and plain white t-shirt) should be brought to school in a bag ready to change in to.  Children should NOT be wearing their PE kits under their school uniforms.  On Thursday morning, children can come to school in their PE kits with their school uniform in a bag.

We have trips planned on 4th December to St Paul's Cathedral - please keep looking out for further information as we will require parent / carer helpers.  Our next Reading Cafe is on 15th December in the school hall.  Our class assembly is at 9:10am on 3rd December, also in the school hall.  Parents' Evening will be on 24th November - look out for the sign-up sheet closer to the time.

School starts promptly at 9am.  Please support your child with arriving to school on time and being ready to learn.  This is a great way to ensure that we have a smooth and productive day.  If you have any questions regarding your child's learning or welfare, please make an appointment to see one of us.  Thank you,

The Year 2 Teaching Team
