Welcome to Year 2 Rockets

Our class is taught by Mrs Jeffery with Mrs Lewer teaching the class on Fridays. Miss Bancroft is our amazing, full time class teaching assistant. Miss Bancroft also looks after your children at lunch time. 

Keep checking this page for updates on your child's learning and  photographs to show you some of the amazing learning we have been doing in school.

If you have any problems or concerns please speak to one of our members of staff either when dropping your child off or picking them up. 

We look forward to working with you this year 

Mrs Jeffery and Miss Bancroft

Homework

We are starting Red Rose Spellings this half term in Year 2 so we will not be sending spellings home. Please help your child to learn the Common Exception Words for Year 1 and 2.  

Reading

Learning to read fluently is one of the most important things your child will ever do,
and being a great reader will open so many doors to them as they grow into young
adults. We cannot emphasise how important it is to read with your child daily and
discuss the text. Please sign your child’s reading diary indicating the book has been
read and make a comment on their reading – we check these each week and hope to
create a really positive partnership between home and school where a love of reading is
fostered and encouraged. 

PLEASE ENSURE BOOKS ARE IN SCHOOL EVERY DAY.

PE
Please ensure your child has a named PE kit in school. Our PE lessons will be on THURSDAY and FRIDAY this year. 

Children wearing earrings in school on these days must have them removed, or they will not be able to take part.

Long hair should be tied up everyday, but especially on PE days. It is also worth checking each half term that pumps still fit. 

Other useful information:
Please ensure all your child’s clothing is clearly labelled as things can easily get
misplaced. Your child will need a warm, waterproof coat and sensible shoes. Please
ensure your child has a named water bottle as we encourage children to keep hydrated
throughout the day. Fresh fruit is provided for all KS1 children during morning and
afternoon break and milk can be ordered directly from Cool Milk at www.coolmilk.com.
