Year 2
Welcome back to Great Malvern for the Summer Term! We hope that you had a fabulous Easter break.
An important date for the diary this term is Thursday 10th July. We will be visiting Lower Smite Farm to carry out activities linked to our Science unit of work.
As always, please send in any relevant additional work that your children complete at home that supports and compliments their learning in class.
It is crucial that all children continue to read daily at home and this should be recorded in their reading record. It really does support their progress in all subjects and opens up a world of opportunities for them. Reading books will be sent home daily. There will be a reading book that is matched to their reading level and a ‘bedtime book’ which they choose independently and could be read to them by an adult if needed. It is important that you read every day with your child and record their reading in your child’s reading diary. Your child will need to bring their books and diaries to school every day. Alongside this, we encourage you to practise reading and spelling the common exception words for years 1 and 2. A link to these can be found below.
We also encourage your child to practise their times tables using Times Table Rockstars. Children need to be confident with the 2’s, 5’s and 10 times tables. We suggest 3-5 minutes per day. Details of their login can be found on the inside of their reading diaries.
PE days are usually on a Tuesday but please make sure your child has a full PE kit in school, every day as we often have other opportunities to take part in physical activities.. Ensure all items are clearly named.
