Welcome to Fantastic Foxes and Brilliant Badgers

Miss Gee, Mrs Edwards and Mrs Beharall and the rest of the team welcome you to Year 2. We are excited to share with you the learning journey that happens in Year 2. Year 2 is the final part of your child's journey at Field House Infant School and we aim to nurture and care for each individual pupil whilst in our team so they grow, flourish and realise their potential before they leave us for the next chapter of their education.

During this year we will provide a wide range of exciting, first hand experiences that will engage the children and help them become curious learners. Through our broad and balance curriculum we aim to equip our children with a wide range of knowledge and skills across various topics, whilst also fostering a love of learning and developing well-rounded individuals. Keep an eye open on  the dates list, this will tell you when you can come in and share learning with us!

For more information about the Year 2 curriculum, please see the Curriculum section of the website or click on the topic overviews below. 

Our PE days change each half term due to specialist coaches so keep an eye out for specific posts that tell you the term's requirements for active school uniform (grey/black joggers, sports shorts, skort or leggings, white t-shirt, royal blue jumper/ sweatshirt, black trainers). It is also important to remove or cover earrings. 

We communicate with parents and families through Class Dojo, with regular updates on current topics and learning happening in the classroom. 

Home Learning Expectations

The children are expected to practise core skills every week.

Reading

• Children are encouraged to read their decodable phonics reading book at least 5 times a week. If the children achieve this they receive a stamp on their chart. When they have 6 stamps they can choose a book to bring home and keep! Reading 5 times a week also earns the children dojo points- 10 points = a dip in the box!
• In addition to their reading book, children choose a book every week to bring home and share with their family, this encourages reading for pleasure.

Phonics/Spellings

• Children will bring home the sounds they are learning that week to practise reading both in isolation and in words, or they will have spellings linked to the spelling rule they have been learning. 
• Tricky words/prickly words will also be given to read and spell.

Maths

• Weekly activities are linked to the maths they are learning in the classroom. This aims to revisit and consolidate the key skills that have learnt.

Don't forget that we have an Awards Assembly every Friday morning.  We choose a bucket filler of the week and celebrate home achievements.  A special bag goes home with each child who wins the bucket filler award.  

We hope that children and parents enjoy their time in Year 2 together, before they transition to their chosen Junior School.
