Year 2HK
Hello and welcome to Year 2!
We’re excited about the upcoming term with your children. My name is Miss Kerr, and I am your class teacher. Mrs Rosa is our teaching assistant. We look forward to teaching your children in the coming year and hope to make learning engaging and interesting for everyone.
If you would like to talk to any of the Year 2 team, please look for us in the playground before and after school. We are happy to speak with you about any concerns you may have.

We hope you all had a relaxing summer. This term we have lots of exciting learning ahead!
In History, we’ll explore Castles, looking at different types and how they changed over time. In Geography, our topic is Our World. We are learning about maps, continents, oceans, and famous landmarks.
In English, we’ll be working on poetry, descriptive writing, and instructions, building skills and assessing progress throughout. In Science, we’ll study Materials, discovering their properties and uses.
In Maths, we’ll follow the White Rose curriculum, starting with Place Value before moving on to Addition and Subtraction. They’ll also practise their times tables (2s, 3s, 5s and 10s) so fluency becomes second nature.
Homework includes daily reading (minimum 10 minutes), practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s, and weekly Maths tasks set on Class Dojo. A half-termly Homework Menu will also offer extra activities linked to class learning.
PE will take place on Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Please ensure your child has the correct kit. Our school PE kit is: A white t-shirt and black shorts or tracksuit bottoms and trainers or pumps. Please make sure that your child’s PE kit is labelled with their name.
Reading books: In our reading lessons, we will be continuing to read a variety of text types and books. Fluency and comprehension are especially important and this is something which can be helped by 10 minutes of reading at home every day. Children will receive two reading books every Tuesday, which should be returned the following week. Thank you for your support with these routines, it really helps things run smoothly.
Please check Class Dojo regularly for updates on trips, events, homework, and reminders. We’re looking forward to a fantastic year with your children.
