We hope that you and your children have had a wonderful summer break, and we would like to warmly welcome everyone back for the start of a new school year.
The autumn term is always an exciting and busy time in Year 2. Building on the learning from Year 1, children will continue to develop their independence, confidence and resilience while taking on new challenges across the curriculum.
This year, we will be using the Oak National Academy curriculum to support and enhance our teaching across Year 2. Oak's carefully sequenced lessons help children build knowledge and skills progressively while making meaningful links across subjects where appropriate. The curriculum is designed to ensure all children receive a broad, balanced and engaging education that meets the expectations of the National Curriculum.
For more information about your child's learning this term, please see our Curriculum Overview.
P.E
Please can we remind parents and carers that, in line with our school uniform policy, jewellery should not be worn in school except for small stud earrings. For health and safety reasons, earrings must not be worn on PE days. Children will be asked to remove their earrings before PE lessons if they are wearing them. Children should arrive at school dressed in their PE kit on PE days.

Homework
Children in Year 2 will receive regular homework throughout the year. We encourage all children to read at home at least three times each week to help develop their fluency and confidence.
Weekly spellings will be sent home on Monday and tested the following Monday. Children will continue to practise phonics and spelling patterns as they build on their reading and writing skills.
Morning toast will continue to be available until the close of the register, and children will also be offered a piece of fruit for their morning snack. A separate letter regarding school milk will be sent home shortly.
We kindly ask that all clothing is clearly labelled with your child's name and class. Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle to school every day. Bottles should contain water only and, where possible, should not be made of metal, as these can be quite heavy for children to carry.
We are proud to offer a wide range of after-school clubs each term. Information about our Autumn Term clubs will be sent out during the first few weeks of term.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to speak to your child's class teacher, who will be available at the end of each school day.
We are looking forward to a busy, enjoyable and successful autumn term and thank you for your continued support. We look forward to working in partnership with you throughout the year.
