Autumn Newsletter

Hello and welcome to 2F!

It has been a pleasure getting to know the children so far this week. We've spent time in class getting used to routines and generally settling in to Year 2 life. The class have written about their holidays and in Maths have looked at different ways of partitioning numbers. We have explored living things in science and spent some time playing games in the hall with equipment. 

In terms of reading books and home reading, the children's books have been given out this week and will be changed regularly. All children will have a phonics book as well as their regular reading book while we complete our school phonics scheme. Children should make sure to bring their reading folders in each day and put them in the reading slots outside of the classroom.

Please encourage the children to read for ten minutes per night.

On Monday the children will be given their spelling books. Spelling books should be returned every Monday morning.  Every Monday/Tuesday I will provide the children with  spellings to learn for a short spelling test on the following Monday.  Maths homework will be given most weeks starting on Friday next week. This may be written piece of work, a game online or counting.

This term we are concentrating on counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s extending to 3’s and recall of doubles and halves to 20.

PE will be on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays this half term. Wednesday and Thursday will be 30 mins and Friday 60 mins.

I will be available on the playground before and after school if you have any queries or need any support with homework etc. 

I will be updating this page regularly usually before Sunday night with news about  exciting things we have been doing in school, trips and any other information.

Finally, my email address Fgill@victoriaparkinf.co.uk. I will do my best to respond within 48 hours to any emails.

Thanks for a lovely week 2F!

Mrs Gill
