Year 2
Welcome to Term 2 in Year 2
We hope you and your family had a wonderful and restful Half Term break!
This term we will be learning about Wonderful Wiltshire in Geography and we will be learning all about different materials in Science. In English we will be learning different poems and our class text will be looking at a range of poetry and looking at the book Snowflakes by Cerrie Burnell.
Please take a look at our termly newsletter and vocabulary page to find out more.
Home Learning in Year 2
Home learning will continue. Our Maths home learning is Times Tables Rock Stars. Spellings continue to be tested every Wednesday. Spellings for next term have already been sent out on Wednesday 14th October in the children's book bags.
Spellings
We encourage children to learn spellings using the Look, Cover, Write, Check method, following the sequence:
LOOK at the word
COVER the word
WRITE the word
CHECK their spelling against the word.
Reading
Your child will continue to bring home a reading book every day to share with you. 'Free Reading’ books may be chosen from the class library. Comics and easy books are also great to read as they can improve comprehension skills and give ideas for story writing, but they will not stretch their vocabulary and reading ability. Please encourage your child to read with expression, and to express opinions about the characters in the story, the plot, and what might happen next. Reading books and reading record should be brought to school each day. Reading books are always changed on a Monday.

Water Bottles
Please ensure your child brings a named bottle to school every day, filled with water. The children are allowed to fill their water bottles up during the day if they run out. Please ensure water bottles are taken home regularly and washed.
Timetable of things to remember!
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the school office to arrange to speak with Mrs Solomon or Mrs Courtney.
Kind regards,
The Year 2 Team
