Learning in Year 2
Reading and Phonics
We practice our reading daily in our Guided Reading sessions where we focus on a text and look at different skills in reading. We also explore non-fiction texts on the theme of the book so that we are applying these skills across different genres.

Spellings
There are 3 groups for spellings according to the individual children's levels in spellings. We test the children every Friday. On Friday, they will be given the spellings for the next week. You will be given a sheet of the spellings for the children to have a go at over the week. You will also get their results every Friday too.
Writing
In all of our writing in class we are focusing on presentation, speed and accuracy so that we can be fluent and accurate writers.
Maths
In our daily maths lessons, we incorporate some recall (remembering) of previous skills and knowledge in our daily review - we also include a challenge for those that finish quickly so that they are having to apply other learning or make links in their learning. In lessons we use the Concrete, Pictorial and Abstract approach to enable the children to use practical resources to show their learning as well as to try out new skills in practical ways - i,e using dienes/counters/place value cards/numbelines etc.
We are having a Meet the Teacher session on Tuesday 12th September 2023 at 3.20-3.30. Here is a copy of the Google Slide presentation that I am using.
