Year 2 Spring 2 Homework Overview

Year 2 Half-term: Spring 2 (W/C Monday 19th February 2024– W/C Monday 25th March 2024) In Year 2, we believe that homework should consolidate the learning that has taken place in school and inform families of the children’s learning as they share this knowledge with you at home. To support this, please choose and complete 6 activities from the grid over the course of the half-term. Please can your child bring this in every Thursday so it can be celebrated in class on a Friday. Work can be completed in homework books or, where appropriate, brought in its original form e.g. a photograph or poster etc. We teach the children to take pride and responsibility for their own work and we strive to develop their independence, therefore we expect each homework task to be completed with care and to the best of their ability. Our weekly homework offer in Year 2 includes: 1. Curriculum Menu. 2. Reading- please continue to aim to read with your child at least 3 times a week. 3. Maths - we would also like your child to continue to practise their maths at home, focusing on counting in steps of 2s, 5s and 10s. Your child may use TTRockStars to practise these as well as their number passport. 4. Focus words - practise their ‘red words’. Red words are common exception words – this means they are words that don’t always follow the usual phonics patterns when we read & spell these words. We will put our focus words inside your child’s reading records every week so they can practise reading & spelling these words at home. In class, we will learn to read and spell these words together throughout the week. We can’t wait to see your work! Thank you so much for your continued support! Your Year 2 Team
