Year 2 Team: 

Autumn Term Curriculum Overview:

We aim to enjoy this year and have a fun and exciting curriculum planned for the children. Please see below the overview for The Autumn Term in Year 2.

Attendance:

It is very important that your child’s attendance is as high as possible this term. There continues to be a strong correlation nationally between children’s attendance and progress. Particularly this term, recovering ground lost through days off school will prove very difficult as time is at such a premium.

Homework:

    • Reading records must be brought to school daily and will be checked in on a Monday morning. Children should be heard read a minimum of 4 times a week and have their reading records signed. We actively encourage you to read with your child daily, sharing a range of text types to ensure it is an exciting and motivating experience. Reading supports your child in developing a richer vocabulary and comprehension skills and will ultimately impact their writing outcomes.
    • Spellings words will be taken from the Y1 & 2 Common exception words list and 5 new words will be given out each Monday and the children tested on them the following Monday. Please ask for advice on rehearsal at home if you are stuck for ideas.
    • Writing homework is sent home on a Wednesday and should be returned every Monday which will then be marked and sent back out on the Wednesday with a new task for the children to complete.
    • Children are encouraged to access NumberBots.

    Please refer to the school Homework Policy if uncertain on any expectations (this is on our school website).
