Welcome to the Year 2 Homepage

 

Our Year 2 Team is Mrs Harrison (Monday- Wednesday) and Mrs Hopkins (Thursday-Friday). 

Mrs S Davies, Mrs J Jones, Miss Cobden and Mrs Smoje will be supporting the children.

 

 

Summer Term- Part 1

In English we will be reading a very exciting new text and you might just recognise the main character once we start reading! The tale may be familiar but this story has a twist as well as a very important message about conservation and caring for our world. We will be  learning how to write a persuasive letter to help to persuade the characters in the story to save the trees. In Guided Reading we will venture into the world of Roald Dahl, reading Fantastic Mr Fox. 

 

The Last Wolf the New - Picture 1 of 2

In Maths we will be starting work on 2D and 3D shapes before moving onto Fractions.

       

In Science we will be learning about Habitats and in RE we will be starting to learn about Humanism.

     Being a Humanist. The philosophical core of my being is… | by Philip Kotler  | Medium    

In the Wider Curriculum we will be looking at the Geography of our school and learning about the main features of maps in our topic Map Makers. In Computing we will be making some digital music and in Art our topic is Earth Art.

 

 

PE will be on a Monday with Mrs Harrison and on a Tuesday with Pat and Andy.

 

We will be starting our next topic ‘Relate’ in our My Happy Mind sessions. We will also continue to add to our class and personal toolbox with strategies to help us when looking at the Zones of Regulation. Some of our favourite strategies are: Happy Breathing, Belly Breathing, Colour Counting,  Finger Tug, Pressure Points, Desk Rest and Tight Hug.

Key Information

Contacting Class Teachers

The Year 2 class teachers are Mrs Harrison (Monday - Wednesday) and Mrs Hopkins (Wednesday-Thursday).

Please always feel free to come and speak to us or alternatively our emails are:

sarah.harrison@oldfield.cheshire.sch.uk 

gwen.hopkins@oldfield.cheshire.sch.uk

Please remember that emails will be read no later than 6pm and will be responded to as soon as possible. This might not always be the same day.

Alternatively, please catch us at hometime. 

A member of staff will be welcoming Year 1 and Year 2 in the mornings so they will be able to take messages at drop off.

If your messsage is urgent, please contact the school office.  

 

What will my child need each day?

Children in Year 2 will need their book bag in school with them each day. We only have a small area to store bags outside the Year 2 classroom so book bags are the correct size for the space we have. Children need to have their reading book in school with them each day. They also need to remember to bring a water bottle and a coat as children do go outside when raining. 

PE

Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on Mondays and Tuesdays in Summer 1. Hair should be tied back and jewellery should be removed for PE lessons. If ears are newly pierced, children must be sent to school with tape over their earrings for safety.  

Hot Dinners and Snack 

Please ensure hot dinner and snack choices are completed using the online system by Sunday Evening.  Alternatively, children can bring in their own packed lunch (nut free) if they wish to do so. Children should be able to access the items in their lunchboxes themselves - opening packaging, small tubs etc.

Children in Year 2 are provided with free fruit each day. The type of fruit varies each day and we do not know ahead of time what will be provided. Your child is welcome to bring in a piece of fruit from home if they would prefer. Children also have the opportunity to have a piece of toast instead of fruit. The cost of this is 25p per day (£1.25 per week). To be paid online  

Children should to bring their full water bottles in daily. We are a healthy school so please fill water bottles with water only. 

Medication 

If your children needs to take medication during the school day, please complete a form at the school office. Medication sent into school should be clearly labelled with the pupils name, dosage and storage requirements. Medication must be given to a member of staff by the adult responsible for the child. If your child needs an inhaler or epipen in school, please ensure this is sent into school and again handed over to the class teacher. Please make a note of the expiry date before sending into school and ensure that a replacement is sent into school in advance of the expiry date.
