Reading

Each child is given reading books to take home each week. We change books routinely on Monday. Each Tuesday we will send home a class author book. And each child has a booklet in which to complete a book review. We ask that you read these books with your child at home to support their learning in school. Children who complete 10 book reviews by the end of the school year receive a special award!

Please remember to write and date their reading record book. We would like the children to read at least three times per week. Every Tuesday, our children enjoy a trip to our library.  Whilst they are there they can choose a book to read for enjoyment.  Please ensure that your child’s book bag, reading book and reading record are sent to school every day.

To support with reading please use the Blank Levels of Questioning in the document below:

blank-levels-of-questioning-for-reading-comprehension

Marion Blank’s levels of language are concerned with are four different levels of questioning; Naming, Describing, Retelling/Narrative and justifying. The levels are graded in complexity and go from understanding concrete questions to more abstract questioning and inferencing.

You may find this mentioned on your child’s Speech and Language report – if so, here is a resource to help!

P.E. and Occupational Therapy

P.E. is on a Tuesday afternoon and the children will require appropriate footwear in their PE bag at all times. The school will provide a PE kit for your child. If your child has their ears pierced they will need to be removed by your child, teachers cannot support your child with this. Can we ask for all uniform, including coats, shoes and outer clothing to be clearly named.  This not only helps the children with their independence, but it is their responsibility to look after their own possessions.

We complete Occupational Therapy and sensory regulation activities in the school hall every day. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately to take part in physical exercise each day.

Here are some OT exercises you can try at home with the whole family. It is only a 7 minute workout!

Homework

As well as reading at home each day, the Year 2 children are given action word packs and spellings every Friday. Spelling tests are on a Friday morning. Please practise at least three times a week.  We take great pride in our work and the children love being rewarded for lovely presentation. Please always write in pencil. Additional work may be sent home that match your child’s individualised curriculum or SEN targets so please check your child’s book bag regularly.

Please keep in touch…

We know that children learn everywhere, all of the time. We would love to hear about what the children have been learning at home. If your child has achieved something outside of school we would love to hear about your child’s achievement.  Children are encouraged to bring in photographs, medals, or anything of interest so that they can tell their classmates all about it!
