Please read with your child every day for 10–15 minutes. Record this in their reading records (2/ 3 times a week). The children have been reminded to change their books independently and as needed. Please use the blooms questions at the back of the reading records to help with questions when they have read some of the text.

Autumn Term Week 1

Welcome back to Year 2. It has been lovely to see everyone and catch up with what you have all been up to over the summer. We have had a busy day recapping the school and classroom rules, completing our own class charter, talking about how to be safe online, as well as setting up our English and maths books and reviewing how to present our work neatly. We are now all ready to start our learning next week!
