Summer 2 home learning
Wow! What an amazing first day back with Year 2 Keyworker children! We are so proud of the way they came into school and settled so quickly. All children were very sensible about our new way of being at school and we had a really lovely day
A big well done to you all!
Hello! Our Summer 2 Literacy focus topic is 'Africa' with a focus on Tinga Tinga Tales and non fiction writing about African animals. In topic time we will have a science focus and explore animals and their young.
We hope you enjoy our new topic!

Working from home – Summer 2
We are encouraging children to read daily at home, either to themselves or with an adult. Exploring different types of texts is recommended, and spending time reading poems, stories, non-fiction texts, leaflets etc will really support your child as they develop both their reading fluency and comprehension skills. On our class page you will find a list of recommended year 2 reads. There are many websites offering access to reading materials online; if you
Our English lessons are planned around a similar theme and tend to lead towards the children writing a larger piece of writing. You may wish to pick and choose which sessions suit your child and intersperse activities from other online sites to support their learning. In addition (or as a lighter alternative), children could complete a 10-minute workout from the CGP booklet collected from school.
Other recommended resources that can support with maths teaching at home are: White Rose Maths, BBC Bitesize, National Oak Academy and Maths: No Problem! and CGP workbooks from school.

We encourage children to achieve 40 stars each week on Doodle Maths, Doodle English and Doodle Spell. If you want to quiz your child, we have also uploaded our Summer 2 spellings onto the class page. Alongside Doodle, we also recommend children give Times Table Rock Stars a go, focusing on their 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables.
We have included our daily SPaG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) lessons on our weekly timetable. They are often a short 10-15 minute session focused on key year 2 skills, such as spelling using syllables and phonics, identifying homophones and using punctuation marks accurately. We have given a brief description of each activity underneath and some suggestions about how you can extend your child’s learning at home.
PE/Healthy Hearts and Minds
Understanding the importance of both emotional and physical well-being, we have suggested a few ways that you could enjoy the outdoors and focus on physical health or some activities that can be completed in and around your home to support your child’s emotional well-being.
