Library and Reading Books Reminder

Please note that some children still have outstanding library books. Could you please ensure that all library books are returned by Friday 17th July.

We will not be changing reading books this week, so we kindly ask that all class reading books are also returned by this date.

Thank you for your support.

SPELLINGS

Our spellings this week are year 2 challenge words. The children can find these spellings on the Spelling Shed website. All the children should have their login details to access this online. (https://www.spellingshed.com/en-gb/). There are now 2 groups for spellings. The children have been told which group they are in.

group A: because, find, kind, mind, behind, child, children, wild, climb, every, everybody, even.

group B: find, kind, mind, behind, wind

It would be good practice for them to include each word in a different sentence, to demonstrate that they understand how to use the word in context. Remember to underline the word that they have included in the sentence.

ENGLISH: Year 2 Writing Objectives

Please continue to encourage your child to write simple sentences, hold their pencil correctly, and maintain good sitting posture while completing their work. We are focusing on developing neat letter formation and joined cursive handwriting, so please remind your child to practise these skills regularly.

MATHS Year 2 Maths Objectives

This half-term, we will focus on telling the time and 2D & 3D shapes, mass, statistics, capacity and temperature. Please continue to support your child in learning their number bonds, as these are essential for building confidence and accuracy in all four operations.

READING COMPREHENSION Year 2 Reading Objectives

A worksheet has been given to your child to complete. Please ensure you listen to your child read and sign their home–school diary to confirm this. At Castleview (year 2 to year 6), we are using the Reading Renaissance program to monitor the children's reading: It is a program that helps students improve their reading skills by reading books at their own level and taking quizzes to assess comprehension.

We would like to remind you that homework in Year 2 is designed to reinforce and practise the learning your child has been doing in class. It is not meant to be challenging or stressful, but instead to give children the chance to build confidence and show what they know independently.

Please encourage your child to have a go on their own, they should be able to complete most tasks with limited support from you. If your child finds something particularly difficult, please just make a note for us rather than worrying or spending a long time on it. Thank you for your continued support in helping to make homework a positive and enjoyable experience for the children.

Jupiter Class have been learning how to draw a dirt bike using a step-by-step approach. The children have brought their unfinished drawings home and may continue working on them if they would like to complete them.

The tutorial we have been following can be found here:
