Summer 1

This half term in Year 2 we will be learning...

Collective Worship

Throughout each half term we will be focusing on a different value each week. The values we will be exploring are respect, love, forgiveness, service, friendship and peace. We will be listening to and responding to a range of Bible stories that teach Christians about the importance of our values.

Don't forget to complete your value tasks! They could be included in our next newsletter and be displayed in our worship area!

English

This half term we will be looking at the story 'The Secret of Black Rock'. The children will write their own return narrative. As part of the non-fiction focus, they will write a recount in the form of a postcard.

Reading Eggs

Each half term, we will be accessing Reading Eggs on a weekly basis. The aim is for every child to complete a minimum of 5 reading sessions per week.  

Most of these sessions will be completed in school, however it would be extremely beneficial for children to be accessing it from home on a weekly basis as well.  The aim of this programme is to improve children's reading and comprehension skills, by quickly adapting to meet the exact needs of every child. 

TT Rockstars

Each half term, we will be accessing TT Rockstars on a weekly basis. 

Most of these sessions will be completed in school, however it would be extremely beneficial for children to be accessing it from home on a weekly basis as well.  The aim of this programme is to improve children's times tables knowledge.
