Welcome to Year 2!
Year 2 is a fun and fantastic year where children learn lots and grow and develop into confident, clever children!
Year 2 information:
- Homework and spellings are given out every Friday through seesaw or in homework books. Spellings are tested the following Friday.
- Year 2 P.E day is Wednesday. Please ensure your child wears a full kit to school every Wednesday. ( white t-shirt, leggings/tracksuit bottoms, trainers/pumps and school cardigan/jumper)
- Snack money is collected every Monday morning, which is 50p for the week. You can pay in class or on ParentPay.
- Reading books are changed every Friday. Please ensure you are discussing the story with your child and let us know if your child needs a new book in their reading record.
- New information and pictures are posted on Seesaw or on the Eastcroft Park Twitter feed (@eastcroftpark).
Over the year, we will be studying:
- Lots of different texts through our English work, including 'A River ' by Marc Martin. We will then move onto reading some wonderful texts such as 'The Night Gardener' by Eric Fan and the Fan Brothers and 'The Bog Baby' by Jeanne Willis.
- Our first class reader will be The Owl who is afraid of the Dark. We love reading in Year 2 so we will really enjoy these texts.
- The Weather, Seasons, Our Wonderful World (Geography)
- Animals inc Humans, Everyday Materials, Seasons, Plants, Living Things and their Habitats (Science)
- Kindness, Christianity and Judaism (R.E)
- The artwork of Picasso.
- Babette Cole and Allan Ahlberg (Authors)
