Welcome to Deer class

Key dates

Our PE days are Monday and Wednesday.

Please ensure your child comes to school wearing their full PE kit on both days, including a PE T-shirt, shorts or joggers, and a hoodie. If your child wears earrings, please remove these for PE days or provide earring tape for them to use during PE lessons if they have recently been pierced.

Meet the teacher: For those who would like to revisit the information shared during our Meet the Teacher session, I have attached the PowerPoint presentation below. The presentation includes useful information about Year 2, our routines, expectations, learning, and how you can support your child at home throughout the year.

Home learning

Reading (10 minutes per day)

Please read with your child every day for approximately 10 minutes. 

We collect reading records every Friday and check the comments that are put in them (comments must be recorded at least 3 times a week please).

Children can change their books every day or as needed.

Spellings (15 minutes per week) 

Spellings for this week are Words where 'dge' makes a /j/ sound. These are set in Ed shed. 

Your username and password for Ed Shed is at the beginning of your reading records.

If you wish to complete the spellings on paper or through offline games, I will attach a copy of the spellings at the bottom of the webpage each week. 

Maths (10 minutes per week)

This week we are practising tens and ones. Can you become a Tens and One's Champion? 

Take turns with someone at home.

1. Choose a number between 10 and 99.
2. Say how many tens and ones it has.
3. Write the number as a number sentence.

For example: 63 

• 6 tens and 3 ones
• 60 + 3 = 63

If you get it right, you score 1 point!  Play 10 rounds. Who can get the most points?

Class reader

This week in English, we explored the fun book Flip Flap Pets. We had lots of fun creating different animals by mixing and matching their features. We then used our imaginations to create our very own animal!

• What different animals did you see in the book?
• Can you describe one of the funny animals from the book?
• Can you remember some new adjectives that we learnt from the book?
