A New Year in Year 2

Welcome back into Year 2.

Here are a few reminders about Year 2

1. Reading folders every day. In Year 2 you can change your book when you have finished reading it and when your grown up has signed your diary. How many books will you read this year?

2. P.E every Monday. In Year 2 we leave our kit in school.

3.We work hard and care and share with our friends.

Remember in Year 2 we will be working on targets in R.E, reading, writing and Maths. Every week on the Year 2 BLOG you will find lots of games and activities to help you in your learning.

Literacy Next Week

Have you read these books before? Can you find them in the Library?

Over the next 2 weeks we will be reading and writing about these stories. Perhaps you could draw your own picture or write your own story to share with your friends in Year 2.
