Year 2 Summer 1 Information Dear Parents / Carers, Welcome back after the Easter holiday. We hope you and your families enjoyed the break and the longer, lighter evenings. This is a busy and important half term with the upcoming Key Stage One SATS. Further information regards the SATs can be found below. We hope you find the following information useful for the forthcoming half term. Curriculum: English: We will be working hard on developing our understanding of what we are reading through comprehension work. We will be reading and writing a variety of genres already done in this year such as stories, book reviews, instructions and recounts. Phonics & SPAG: Spelling strategies, punctuation and grammar will be taught daily. Please check your child’s reading card for notes on phonemes or words to be looking for in reading books. In addition, please keep revisiting past spellings to ensure children really are secure in their spelling. Children often do really well in a spell check but then spell them incorrectly when writing.
Maths: We will be learning about FRACTIONS, MONEY, WEIGHT and CAPACITY. Please continue to work on the addition bonds and now the times tables at the back of the reading card. Whilst checking them we have been very impressed with how the children are learning these and also how children are using their addition facts to help solve maths problems.
Each day at St John’s, we know we are a part of God’s family. In a place where we love and are loved. In a place where we learn to love and love to learn.
In a place where we believe in ourselves and believe in each other. In a place where we grow happily together trusting and loving God. Dios es Amor.
