End of Year 2 Objectives

These are the objectives that we aim to meet by the end of Year 2 for the key areas.

Any extra support you can provide in helping your children to achieve these are greatly appreciated.

Spring Term 2024

We hope that everyone has had a wonderful Christmas break!

I would just like to remind you that children must have their diaries in school every day, and should be bringing in homework, PE kit and Forest School clothes on the appropriate days.

KS1 SATs

During June, Year 2 children will be taking SATs papers in Reading, Maths and SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar). These papers will indicate whether they are working below the expected standard, at the expected standard or at greater depth for Year 2.

Please support your child by ensuring that they complete the weekly homework set and practise times tables (2x, 5x, 10x), as this will be a huge help for them when completing their SATs. Reading regularly also has a significant impact on your child’s progress and ability.

If you have any further questions regarding Year 2 SATs, please do not hesitate to ask.

Reading

Please make sure that you read with your child at least 4 times per week.

Rewards are given at the end of each half term for children who read 4 times or more each week but this must be signed by an adult in reading diaries.  Reading diaries are checked every Friday.

 

 

P.E Kit

Every Tuesday, children will be taking part in P.E. sessions.

On a Wednesday/Thursday on alternate weeks children will be taking part in P.E. sessions.

(See our Class Dojo page for more information)

Please make sure that your child is wearing the appropriate, labelled kit on this day!

 

Forest School

Forest school will take place every other Thursday.  Your child must bring in a spare clothing and a pair of shoes, preferably a pair of wellies with their name on, in order to participate in the Forest School sessions.

If you wish, they may bring in some waterproof overalls which will go over their school uniform, along with scarves, gloves and hats in the colder months.

Homework

Homework will be given out on Fridays via a homework book. This needs to be completed to the best of your child's abilities - the homework intends to revise work already completed in lessons but if your child needs support or guidance please show this in a different colour where possible!

Feel free to make any notes on it so that we know how to support them further in their learning of the topic.

The completed homework will then need to be submitted to school on the following Thursday.

I know the children work hard at school and so doing their homework will earn them Class Dojo points.

Times Tables

In Year 2, children need to know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables!

Please try and practise this at home.

This could be counting steps in multiples while walking or going up the stairs, counting money or even just making a poster to have them displayed around the house!

The children have a Times Table Rock Star log in their reading diary and homework book to practise there too!

HOME LEARNING LINKS!

As Year 2 is also the end of Key Stage 1, it's important to keep learning and revising what we've learned, particularly if you are unable to attend school. Below are some of our favourite links we recommend to support learning at home.
