Please send your child in with a board / card game of their choice (please no electronic games, tablets or devices please) and a blanket or cuddly toy to snuggle up with on Tuesday 23rd July 2024.

Songs

In Class 2, we love to sing. We sing to learn Maths, we sing in Science lessons, we sing in History lessons,… we sing every time we get the chance. The children have asked that I share some of the songs we love in class here so that they can share them with you. So, here are links to a few of our favourites at the moment.

Reading

In Class 2, we love our books! We ensure that we choose and share a variety of books every day in class. Further, every child is encouraged to access a selection of books related to our topic. To encourage this love of reading further at home, you could read and talk about the books they bring back home in their book bag. We change these books every Monday afternoon.

For the Year 2s who have access to Accelerated Reader leveled reading books, it is expected that your child is to read for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. Accelerated reader quizzes can be accessed at home. Please click on the link below and then enter in your user name and password.

If your child has forgotten login details: The username is the 1st letter of your child’s first name and the first 4 letters of their second name. Regarding their password, if they have forgotten that, please do email me so that I can confirm.

Class 2 got the RED rosette for our oil pastel meadow of wild Tamar Valley flowers at the Harrowbarrow and Metherell Village Show!
