Year 2 - Cedar Class

Welcome to the Cedar Class Page

Welcome to the Spring Term! Please see below for some key information, important dates and details on the Year 2 curriculum.

Please don't hesitate to catch us before or after school or email the office with any questions or queries. 

Just a reminder we are a NUT FREE school. Please ensure your child isn't bringing anything containing nuts in their lunchboxes!

Key Information

•    Please can all children bring in a labelled P.E kit in a bag - P.E. lessons will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays

•    The Key Stage 1 doors open at 8:45am and the end of the day is 3:25pm.

•    Please ensure that your child has a water bottle in school daily. This should only have water in it, not juice please. 

•    Any children who aren’t collected after ten minutes at the end of their school day will be popped into After School Club which is located in the Portacabin.  

•    Children should be collected by someone over the age of 16. If someone different is collecting your child, please let their class teacher know. 

•    Please can all children bring a warm, waterproof coat in daily. 

•    Reading books to be brought into school on Fridays. Children will receive their new books each Friday. We do allocate Teaching Assistant time on Fridays to change books so it isn’t always possible to change forgotten books on other days.

A reminder about online safety:
If you are working online, don’t forget to be safe and savvy! 
Never give personal information to anyone! Think about the safety of what you are sharing or posting if you are online or on your phone.
Do not share your school log-ins or change your log-in details. We won’t ask you to do that.

Make sure you are accessing online material that is relevant for your age and tell an adult at home if you come across something that is not suitable for you, or if someone is trying to contact/talk to you that is not someone you know.

You can contact your teacher through Seesaw if you feel vulnerable or worried, or contact Childline 0800 1111.

Useful reminders about Online Safety are at Thinkuknow.co.uk 

Autumn 2 Curriculum

English -  We will be reading 'Look Up' by Nathan Bryon followed by poetry.

Maths 

We will be learning about : 

·      Dividing, Length, Mass and Temperature

History - How did we reach the moon? - the Space Race and Neil Armstrong

Science - Feeding and Exercise, Sustainability - plastic waste

R.E  - Why does Christmas matter to Christians? 

PSHE - Valuing Difference

P.E - our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday

Spellings

Children will be given their new half-termly spelling letters. They can also be found at the bottom of this page. Please ensure you continue to help your child learn their spellings and apply them in their writing; this is often the part children struggle with once they have learnt them for a test.

Homework

Your child can access Numbots and TT Rockstars weekly. These are fantastic apps to support children’s maths fluency. 

Home Learning Challenges have been sent home - they are due back in school by Friday 6th December.

Reading

Your child will bring home a reading book on Fridays, to be returned the following Friday. Listening to your child read regularly will really support them with their fluency and decoding. Children will now also be able to visit the School Library each fortnight to choose a book to read in class. This will be every other Thursday.
