Year 2

Year 2 is such an exciting year at All Saints; it is very busy with lots of interesting learning and brilliant opportunities. 

In Year 2, the children are leaders of their own learning and thrive on exciting experiences that will develop them as independent individuals. They are experts, who build knowledge and understanding with a drive for excellence. They have pride and ambition and are role models within the school community. In Year 2, we all work together, to achieve our very best and take pride in our learning. We look after our friends and come to school ready to learn and have fun. 

In Year 2 this year, the following adults are here to help:

Mrs Wright – Class Teacher

Mr Bilsborough – Class Teacher

Mrs Jackson – Learning Support Assistant

Mrs Newton – Learning Support Assistant

Reading at home

Children have a reading folder, containing two books and a reading record. They will bring home a reading practice book, which will be matched to their phonics ability. They will be able to read this fluently and independently.  

Children will also bring home a sharing book. Your child will not be able to read this on their own. This book is for you to both read and enjoy together. 

Children are expected to read their practice book at least three times a week.  

Books must be brought back into school every Friday to be returned so that new books can be issued. 

Reading Records 

These should be used by parents to capture the individual child’s reading journey. When you hear your child read their practice book, please record this in the reading record.  These will be checked and stamped by the teacher every Friday when they return their books and swap them for new ones.
