Welcome to the Year 2/3 Class Page
We are always very busy in Year 2! We work extremely hard and always try our best!
Pop in to our class and you will find us independently working on our 'Missions'. If we are not doing our missions, we can be seen working on focus tasks with Mr Hayward, Miss Riordan or Miss Price.
Important Information
This term, we will be presenting our 'Me Boxes' so that we can get to know one another. We will be learning all about the different cultures, religions and nationalities in our class as well as our similarities. We will also be looking at why rules are important and creating our own set of rules to follow in our classroom. We will finally be learning about our school values and why they are important.
In Literacy, we will be doing 2 weeks of 'Pie Corbet' work. We will be learning about setting descriptions and what skills we need to describe a setting successfully. We will be learning how to write in 3rd person, present tense, using adjectives in our writing as well as verbs and similes.
In maths we will be focusing on Place Value. We will be recapping counting forwards and backwards in steps of 1 and bigger. We will be learning about Ones, Tens and Hundreds and how to successfully build a number.
Reading Books
Reading is extremely important! Children will be expected to read 1/2 reading books per week. Books will be changed every Tuesday, although, I am happy to change them when needed. Please try and read with your children as much as possible, even if it is 10 minutes every evening.
PE
PE takes place on a Tuesday. Please provide your child with PE kit and trainers for this day (these can remain in the school cloakroom for the term if you wish). Pupils will be working up a sweat during PE sessions, can you please ensure they have a drink specifically on this day.
Class Dojo
We use 'Class Dojo' to communicate with parents. All information will be shared on the 'Class Story', please make every effort to acknowledge the information shared. My 'Quiet Hours' are 17:30pm - 7:30am. Any messages received during this window will be responded to the following morning.
Thanks
Mr Hayward
Please take a look at what we are doing in class this term!
