Welcome to Year 2 Lobsters
Miss Jones- Class Teacher
Welcome to Year 2 Lobsters. My name is Miss Jones and I am your child’s class teacher. The Teaching Assistants working with us are Miss Cook and Miss Beard. This year we will be working together to ensure that all children reach their full potential and make good progress across all areas of the curriculum. We are looking forward to working with your child and helping them on their journey throughout this academic year.
In Year 2, we will be focusing on supporting all pupils to become confident readers. We will begin to use Accelerated Reader, where pupils can choose their own books and take a quiz once they have completed their reading. We will also be ensuring all pupils have access to a wide and varied curriculum - which is lots of fun!
Throughout the year we aim to keep parents, carers and families well informed as to what we have been up to. You can follow our journey on Class Dojo, Twitter, Facebook or on Instagram. Our class webpage will also be updated each half term, with our medium term plans, knowledge organisers and class newsletters.

Homework
Homework will be set in books on a Monday. At home you can also be using Spelling Shed and Times Tables Rockstars/Numbots online. All homework should be completed ready for Friday. It is very important for you to help and support your child at home with learning these spellings and times tables.
All pupils in Year 2 will read books from the Rising Stars Reading Planet range. All books are colour coded and accurately matched to your child's reading ability. The books move from Rocket Phonics to Comet Street and Galaxy books as pupils develop their reading skills. All pupils are encouraged to read at home every night. Reading as often as possible helps pupils to develop their fluency and confidence. Once your child has completed a book, encourage your child to answer the questions in the back of the book. Pupils should regularly re-read their reading books to help build up their understanding of what they have read. All reading books are changed weekly so please ensure you date and sign your child's reading record whenever they read.
Year 2 Curriculum Overview
We have used the national curriculum and our expertise to map out a broad, balanced, creative and coherent curriculum. We believe our curriculum empowers our pupils to access and develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions to enable them to become well-rounded citizens who take with them a life-long love of learning.
