Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 2 – Summer Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the last term of the School year. It really has flown by! We have lots of exciting opportunities and experiences available for the children and cannot wait to get started!
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 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

We will also be welcoming some feathery additions into our classes…date to be kept as a surprise…
