Year 2
Hello, and welcome to Year 2!
Our Year 2 team are Mr Dean (teacher), Mrs Idrees (Teaching Assistant) and Miss Marchant (Teaching Assistant) and our phase leader is Mrs Hadfield . If there is anything you need, please just ask one of us and we will do all we can, or find and answer for you and get back to you.
We look forward to working with you over the next year supporting your child to develop into curious and resilient learners. We are ensuring we show respect to one another and to our teachers, being safe within our school and beyond, listening to the guidance of Jesus, as well as being ready for learning each and every day.

Reading at Home
Your child will bring home phonics based books and a library book each week. These will be changed weekly. The phonics books practise the sounds and words that the children are learning in their phonics group each week; these should be practised daily at home in order for reading to become effortless for your child. There will also be a library book in your child's book bag; these are to read together and talk about the pictures and events from each story. We ask for the children to complete a book review of their library book. This encourages your child to think about what they enjoyed about a book and to think about sequence of events and characters which supports them to develop as readers in their reading journey.
Children: Don't forget to read at home for 10 minutes every day and ask an adult to sign your reading record. Remember that you will receive raffle tickets for your reading!!
Adults: Research has proven that reading for 10 minutes every day with your child makes a huge difference in building confidence and fluency in reading. Practise makes perfect!
