Learning Bulletin - Summer 2Timetable - Y2 - Summer 2Please Note: Year 2 will have Physical Education on Mondays (outdoor) and Thursdays (indoor).
Some Key Areas of Learning:
Our literacy learning for Summer 2 will be based around The Katie Morag Series by Mairi Hedderwick. We will use the book series to influence our writing, including making predictions, drama and story writing. The Katie Morag stories will also influence our geography learning, comparing London to a small Scottish Island.
Reading:
As a school, we use The Little Wandle Phonics Programme to support with reading and writing.
Home reading books will be changed or checked twice a week. Please make sure you are reading with your child every day for at least 15 minutes. They will have read the book in class to build their comprehension and prosody which they can then build on at home. We are also providing sharing books for your child to help grow their vocabulary and to expose them to a range of sentence structures whilst encouraging a love of reading!
When will my child be reading at school?
