WELCOME to Year 2
SPRING TERM
Welcome back to school everyone, I hope you've had a fun half term holiday. This week, I have really enjoyed the start of the warmer weather, it reminds me of Spring. I always look forward to Easter because it is one of my favourite times of the year. I went for a walk this week and saw lambs which were only a few days old, they were really cute.
Please keep up your reading at home. Remember, when you have finished your reading book, return it on Mondays and Thursdays before choosing a new book.
We follow the White Rose maths scheme which can be found on the following website if you want to follow along at home. This can be found at https://whiterosemaths.com/resources/primary-resources/primary-sols/ Click on the Year 2 scheme of learning.

READING NON FICTION AT SCHOOL
This week we have been learning about the seasons. We looked at the Autumn colours in the leaves to make Autumn leaf rubbings.
READING
Reading is a very important part of learning in year 2 and I am looking forward to hearing about all of the reading you have done over the past few weeks. Remember to bring in your school reading book if you have one at home. GETEPIC is still available for you to read at home. Click on the link below to go straight to the website.
Oxford Owl is also a great website for access to school books. Click on the icon below to go straight to that web page.
We will also remind ourselves of the phonics learning in year 1, building upon this to help develop every child's reading fluency and understanding. We will revise Phase 4 and then move onto Phase 5 and 6 throughout the year. See below for some helpful online phonics practice.
