Math Calculations in Year 2

100 Books to read in KS1

Weekly update: Friday 6th March 2026

Welcome to Class 2!

We have had World Book Day 2026 to finish an awesome week. It was an amazing day filled with bookish fun, fantastic costumes and lots and lots of stories!

In other news, this week Class 2 have been finding facts about Emperor penguins for English and in Science we have looked at their life-cycle. 

In maths we have been working on doubling, halving, odd an even numbers. 

In phonics the children have learned the different ways to write the /g/ sound such as egg, go, ghost guess and plague. We have practised our handwriting and using our sounds to write words that we may not be familiar with during dictation.

In RE we are learning about the Easter story and how Jesus rose from the dead. 

We are learning to play the recorder and have so far managed to play music consisting of the notes BA and G. 

The learning reviews are coming up at the end of this term and we will be able to discuss your child's progress then. In the meantime, please continue to read daily with them. They can play Numbots for a few minutes a day to consolidate their knowledge of number. Many of the children are still not independent at dressing themselves and find buttons, ties and shoe laces tricky still. Please can you help them to develop this crucial independence. Thank you. 

 

Have a restful weekend,

Mrs Hard and the Year 2 team.

 

Home Learning 

Topic home learning.

Maths:

Reading:

  • Every child has been given a reading book based on their reading ability. The best way to improve at anything is to practise. So we will change their reading book as soon as they finish the current one. We expect parents to read daily to and with their child. We suggest 15 minutes per day as the optimum reading time for home reading.

SPAH (Spelling, punctuation and handwriting)

  • Every Friday, we send home a book with a sentence the children have written. This will include words from our phonics sessions. This children are expected to re-write the sentence to practise letter formation, spelling and learn the important and various sentence structures. This should be completed over the weekend and returned to school on a Monday.
