Autumn Term

This page has useful information about the day-to-day running of Year 2 as well as the areas of learning that we will be covering this term.

Miss Chambers is the main class teacher in year 2, with Mrs Henson teaching on a Tuesday morning. The class is also supported by Miss Edwards, Mrs Stevenson and Mrs Munden throughout the week.

Useful information:

• At St Wilfrid's we follow the Little Wandle phonics and reading programme. This includes daily phonics lessons and 3 reading sessions each week. Your child therefore needs to bring their book bag and reading diary to school every day so that we can record their reading sessions and change their books.                                                                 
• Every week, we will send home a phonics update on the class dojo so you can see what your child has been learning that week.
• Children are encouraged to share books with an adult at home and practise reading their Little Wandle book. We count up the number of daily reads at home and reward certificates for every 25 reads. Little Wandle books need to return to school every Monday so they can be used for a new group that week.
• Each half-term we have a whole school service at St Wilfrid's church led by a different class. We always need walkers to help us walk safely to church, so if you are free on a Thursday morning and would like to come along, please let us know! 
• PE will take place every Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure your child comes to school in the correct PE kit. Long hair should always be tied back for PE, and please make sure earrings are taken out on these days. You may wish to layer some warmer clothing for our outdoor sessions, particularly when the weather is colder.
