Eagles class

Welcome to year 2 - the Eagles class! My name is Mrs Webster Scott and this is my fifth year at Wolvey School and my third year in year 2.  In year 2, we are lucky enough to have the wonderful Mrs Pritchard, Miss Child and Mrs Rai as our Learning Support Assistants as well as Sue, our reading volunteer.

This is an exciting year for your children as this will be their final year in Key Stage 1. We will be doing lots of work to support the children in developing their confidence and independence ready for the transition into year 3 and Key Stage 2.  In addition to this, year 2 allows us to reflect on the knowledge and skills that the children have gained during their time in Key Stage 1.  To support us with this, year 2 children will take part in their KS1 SATs which will happen in May.

Below you will see a showcase of some of the exciting learning that the children have been doing throughout this year alongside some key information about our class.

Reading and Homework in Year 2

In year 2 we are passionate about creating a love for reading.  In this year group, children are becoming increasingly confident in applying their phonics skills to a wider range of texts which enables them to access lots of wonderful and exciting books.  All children in year 2 will bring home 2 books each week; a phonics book and a reading for pleasure book that they have chosen themselves.  Both of these books need to be in school every day so that we can read with the children.  In order to support your children in becoming fluent readers and writers, we recommend they read for 10 minutes every night.  As a minimum, they should be reading at least 3 times a week.  It is important that this takes place with an adult.  The children's phonics books will be changed every Friday, as long as it has been read 3 times at home.  This marries up with our weekly spelling tests; new lists will be sent home each Friday and tested a week later.  Reading for pleasure books will be changed as your child finishes each book.  These are often longer that the phonics books and so take a little longer to read.

This year, we are running a competition across Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.  The class who most consistently reads three times each week, will receive a special treat at the end of each half term!

All other homework will be handed out on a Wednesday to be returned for the following Monday.  This allows me time to support any children who need some extra help and to ensure that new homework tasks are stuck into homework books ready for Wednesday.
