Year 2

Welcome to the Year 2 blog!

The children have made a fantastic start to the term and we have been really impressed with how focused and enthusiastic the children been returning to school.

Please find some key information below. If you have any questions, please speak to your child's class teacher. 

PE:

PE days for Y2 are Wednesday and Friday.

The children can come into school in their PE kit and stay in it all day (no need for uniform on these days). PE kit requirements can be found via the link: https://www.stleonards.devon.sch.uk/parents/uniform

Reading and Practice Reading:

We will start this term by teaching the rest of the Phase 5 programme of study from Little Wandle. 

We will start Practice Reading next week so your child will bring home a reading book on Thursday.

It would be great for all Practice Reading books to be returned on the following Thursday so a new book can be given out.

To revisit and review the children's phonics knowledge, your child may bring home a book which they read at a point in Y1. This is to ensure that children have retained their knowledge over the summer break. We will re-assess and move children accordingly during the following week.
