Year 2 is an end of Key Stage year. At the end of Key Stage 1, your child will be assessed in Reading, Maths
and English grammar, punctuation and spelling.
You can help your child by -
• Reading with them every night and asking them questions about what they have read.
• Practise number facts and times tables.
• There are many grammar and punctuation games online.
Reading & Optional
Homework• Please read with your child every night and encourage them to change their book
at school when they have finished.
• Each half term children will be given a homework grid, like in Year 1. Children can complete 1 activity each week, in what ever order you wish.
• Children should bring their homework in every Thursday.
• Children will also be given spellings and timetables in preparation for their end of year tests but this will not be straight away.
Year 2 Routines
• 8.40 – 9am Staggered soft start– children to come straight into class where activities will be laid out ready
• Doors shut at 9am
• 3pm – 3:20pm staggered home time
Games/P.E
• Children to wear their PE kit to school on a PE day.
• Year 2’s PE day is Friday.
• PE kit: White T-Shirts and Black shorts with either plimsolls or trainers. In the winter tracksuit bottoms and a jumper.
Snacks
• Fruit or Veg is available for children to have at break time.
Attendance and Punctuality
• It is vital that the children are in school every day,
before 9am.
If a child misses 15 minutes every day, in a week that is 75
minutes of learning missed a week.
• Our attendance needs to be over 95% per class and
this includes being punctual to school.
Your child’s class teacher is the first
port of call for any queries.
