Dear Parents and Carers,
Year
2 – Summer Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the Summer Term! This term promises to be a
busy one in Year 2. We have lots of exciting opportunities and experiences
available for the children and cannot wait to get started! Children will also
be completing their end of Key stage assessments in May but please remember
that these do not form the
full judgment on your child’s attainment.
Homework:
Remember, our expectation at Broadford is that every child
should do the following every night:
·
15 minutes reading to themselves or an
adult and note in the reading record
·
15 minutes practicing spellings
·
15 minutes rehearsing times tables
facts (including multiplication and division)
If
children would like to attempt an additional challenge, we have a new Learning
Challenge for children to attempt this Summer term which is attached. All of
the activities are based around a significant person, poem or painting relating
to our topics. Children do not have to attempt every activity but instead
select the activities that they are most interested in and compile a project
that reflects the extra time and effort that they have put into their
challenge. We hope that children will take their time with the challenge.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should
practise their words every evening. The test will take place on Fridays.
Trips & sharing assemblies
Cherry will be hosting their sharing assembly on 25th April.
Year 2 will be visiting the Park for a Science workshop (date
tbc) and the Tower of London on 22nd
June. We will also be welcoming some feathery additions into our
classes…date to be kept as a surprise…
