We are still doing The Daily Mile. The aim of The Daily Mile is to improve the physical, social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing of our pupils... and staff!

Read on for more information about our learning and how you can support at home. 

Homework and useful resources

• Reading 

Children should be reading daily to improve their fluency. We should also help the children develop a love of reading. You can do this at home by sharing books with them and reading to them. 

Please ensure that your child reading folder is in school every day, so that we can hear them read and change their reading books regularly. 

Watch this video to learn how children are taught to say the sounds.

• Maths homework

Each child has been issued with a Maths practice workbook. This will be sent home on Fridays and must be handed in on Tuesdays. 

• Spelling

Below you can find a copy of the common exception words children need to be able to spell by the end of Year 2. 

We will be setting some spelling homework. This will have the due date written at the top of the page. 

You can also check the spelling rules they will learn in Year 2. You can find this in the documents section below.
