Welcome to Fantastic Foxes and Brilliant Badgers

Miss Gee, Miss Carey-Parsons 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.

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 are Tuesday and Thursday and we ask that all children come to school in their active school uniform on these days (grey/black joggers, sports shorts, skort or leggings, white t-shirt, royal blue jumper/sweatshirt, black trainers). 

We ask that children bring their book bag and water bottle every day.

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 book at least 5 times a week.
• Children share a 'choose it' book with their family to encourage 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 will have spelling's linked to the rule they have been learning. 
• Tricky words/prickly words will also be given to read and spell.

Maths

• Weekly activities are liked to current teaching in maths to revise and revisit the key skills that have been learnt in the classroom.

Don't forget that we have an Awards Assembly every Friday morning.  We choose a bucket filler of the week, celebrate home achievements and reward our regular readers.  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.
