Year 2 Overview
Phonics
Please click here to read all about our Phonics scheme (new for September 2022) called Little Wondle.
Spelling
As a school we are now using an online platform called Spelling Frame.
Regularly, I will set the children a spelling rule or pattern that they can practise using Spelling Frame online. At the end of each spelling rule the children will take a test on Spelling Frame in school. When the children log onto Spelling Frame, they will select the rule that has been set for that week. Then, they can play various games to practice the rules as well as trying a mock test before the real one.
Reading
Children should read at least three pages per night of their reading book and they should complete the Accelerated Reader Quiz when they have finished.
TT Rockstars
Children should use the TTRockstars programme to practise their times tables regularly.
Mathletics
Children will be set one piece of Mathletics homework online per week.
Please note that Spelling Frame, TTRockstars and Mathletics will be introduced to Year 2 children slowly and not all at once. I will send a jotter out to inform you once it has been introduced.
Knowledge Organisers
The minimum knowledge that children need to know for each topic have been put together onto one knowledge organiser. Click here to be taken to the different Knowledge Organisers for our topics.
P.E
Our PE days (until Christmas) are Tuesday and Thursday
Please remember that earrings are not allowed to be worn during PE lessons and tape coverings are not allowed.
WLPS PE tracksuit is available to buy from Penn Sports.
