Year 2 – Holy Family RC Primary School

Welcome to the Year 2 Class Page.

We hope your child is going to have a wonderful year this year!

In Year 2, we aim to create a happy, stimulating environment where your child feels valued, safe and motivated to learn. Every year is very important and Year Two is no exception. We have high expectations and a desire to see each child achieve their potential and make exceptional progress.

A key aspect in the progress of your child is the relationship between home and school. We are looking forward to working with you and helping your child develop to their full potential.

Reading

We know that you will understand the importance of returning reading books each day with the comments filled in so that we can help your child excel this year. Another important aspect where we work together is the homework we set. Homework is just as important as the work we do in school and consolidates what we do during the week. It is vital that homework is returned on Monday and is completed to the same high standard we expect in school.

Water bottles

Please supply your child with a water bottle so that they can have a drink of water whenever they wish.

Names in clothes

Please ensure that your child’s name is clearly written in all items of clothing.

P.E.

Please ensure your child has a P.E. kit in school that consists of shorts, a t-shirt and pumps. We have P.E. on Monday each week.

Home/school folders

Each Monday your child will bring home their homework, reading books and spellings. Homework needs to be return for the following Monday and spellings will be tested on the Friday. Reading books need to be returned on their Guided Reading Day.

Phonics

Your child will be taught phonics daily. This will help your child learn to become a confident reader and help them to learn to spell.
