Welcome to Year 2!

2022-2023

"The child grew and became strong in body, mind and spirit."

Staff

The class teacher is Mrs. Ainsworth from Monday to Thursday and Mrs. Hill on a Friday. We are supported by Mrs. Chorley every morning. Mrs. Harrison will be teaching Year 2 on Tuesday mornings.

Reading

Year 2 will receive daily Phonics/Spellings sessions and weekly Guided Group reading sessions with an adult. Children need to bring in  their reading folder each day. Home books can be changed on Mondays and Thursdays. 

This half-term our English Pathways text will be 'The Last Wolf'. 

Spellings

This half term's spellings are:

P.E.

PE is every Wednesday afternoon, please ensure your child comes to school in their kit. As the weather is getting colder please ensure your child brings along their P.E hoody. 

Water  Bottles

Please make sure that your child brings a bottle of water into school. The bottles will be sent home at the end of the school day to be refilled.

Reading

Here at St. Peter's we follow the Oxford Reading Tree scheme.

These books follow and progress at the same rate as our phonics scheme.

Reading for pleasure

To encourage reading for pleasure, your child will choose a book from our class library. This book may not be fully decodable to your child however with your support at home the book will become accessible and allow them to experience a book of their interests. This can be changed at any time and there is no expectation on how many times this is read.
