Year 2
Welcome to our
Year 2
Hello, we are Year 2. We are taught by Mrs Cumiskey. Mrs Oliver also help us in the classroom.
We are learning reading skills by practising phonics every day. We follow Sounds-Write phonics to help us learn new sounds and become fluent readers. Once completing the decodable books, we move onto Accelerated Reader books which are in our school library. We read with Miss Young a minimum of three times per week in school.
In Year 2 we love maths! We are following the White Rose scheme of learning. This helps us to learn our maths in small steps. This means we build on our learning when we are ready to do so. We practise fluency every day. This means we practise our number bonds, times tables and counting forwards and backwards every day. We also use Times Tables Rockstars and we all have our own log in.
Homework
Our homework is set each week and this includes 6 maths questions and 5 spellings. The maths questions link to our weekly maths fluency.
If you have any questions about Year 2 you can email Mrs Cumiskey. Her email address is l.cumiskey@collierleyprimary.co.uk
Our ultimate aim is to raise standards and outcomes for all of our children
