Staff in Year 2
Class Teachers: Mrs Z Hawkins (Assistant Head Teacher, English Lead & History Lead) & Mrs H Andrew.
Support Staff: Miss T Stringer (Class LSA)
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 the optional KS1 SATs, which will take place in June / July.
Class Dojo
I communicate with parents regularly through the Class Story on Class Dojo as I think it is an invaluable way of helping parents to stay informed of what is happening with their children on a day to day basis in school. I also upload children’s work to their Personal Portfolio pages so that they can talk about what they have been doing with their families. Parents and children can also upload things that they have done at home to share with me. I use the Class Dojo messaging service and am happy to answer simple queries through this, during office hours.
Reading In Year 2
The most important homework any child can do, is read! It is crucial for a child's development that they learn to read as quickly as possible.
Every child at Wolvey School is encouraged to read books / magazines from a wide range of genres. We also highly recommend that parents and carers read bedtime stories to their children, as listening to stories helps to develop language recognition and an understanding of the world around them.
Children in Year 2 should be reading for at least 25 minutes a day so that they can improve their reading fluency and be introduced to a wide range of ambitious vocabulary.
From September, every week, each child will come home with a Read Write Inc book bag book, matched to their stage of phonic learning. This will reinforce what the children are learning in phonics that week. We hope that all children will complete the RWI scheme of phonics as quickly as possible, so that they are fluent readers, ready for KS2.
To encourage a love of reading, they will come home with a reading for pleasure book. This is usually a picture book, which can be enjoyed with family at bedtimes.
The children are required to read at home at least 3 times a week. I cannot stress enough the importance of reading, for developing as a writer and a successful learner!
We have a wide range of fantastic age-appropriate books in school that have been written by award winning authors.
