Meet the Teachers 2024/2025:
A Year in Year 2:
Phonics:
Please click here to read all about our Phonics scheme called Little Wandle.
Reading:
Children should read at least three pages per night of their reading book and they should complete the Accelerated Reader Quiz, at home, when they have finished.
Spelling:
As a school from Year 2 onwards, we use an online platform called Spelling Frame.
Once introduced to the children this year, we will set the children a spelling rule or pattern that they can practise using Spelling Frame online. 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.
TT Rockstars:
Children should use the TT Rockstars 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 the Year 2 children slowly and not all at once. We 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 are Mondays and Fridays. Please make sure the children come in to school in their PE kits for these days.
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.

Times Table Rock Stars
As part of their weekly homework, children are expected to log on to TTRS to assist with their learning of times tables. They should be using the 'Garage' mode to learn their set times tables, at least 3 times a week, at a very minimum. They can also use any other game mode, however many of these are all times table and division facts up to 12x12.
The children have been using TTRS in school for a number of months now and should be able to comfortably navigate their way through the site. Please see the information below to familarise yourself with how the site works.
