Welcome to Year Two's Class page!

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these. (Galatians chapter 5 verses 22 to 23, The Holy Bible)

HOMEWORK

For the current week's homework, please scroll down.

Notes

Reading is the key!

• Try to hear your child read as often as possible, preferably 10 minutes every day.
• Discuss the book, ask them questions and clarify vocabulary.
• Read to your children as often as possible, preferably daily, so that they can hear modelled expression and fluency.
• Encourage your child to access the Bug Club resources set for them each week.

Bug Club

Your child will be allocated phonics sounds to practise at home. This will usually be a mixture of games and online books. For log in codes, please see the front of your child's reading record.

Spellings

Pupils will practise ten spellings each week, followed by a spelling test every Tuesday. Please help your child to learn the spellings by regularly getting them to write each word from memory. They can write in their red spelling books. The "look, cover, write, check" process is a good way to learn new spellings. Children should practise writing the spellings throughout the week to retain them in their long-term memory. To challenge themselves, children can try putting each word into a sentence.

Maths

Children will be told what pages they need to complete in their CGP maths books. Tasks should be completed by the following Tuesday, when children will have to hand their workbook in.

Times Tables Rockstars (TTRS): Please encourage your child to play the games as often as possible.

For TTRS log in codes, please see the front of your child's reading record.

This Week's Homework (Set Tuesday 30th September 2025)

Homework is due on Tuesday 7th October 2025. (On that day, children's reading books will be changed, their spelling tests marked and their maths work marked. Maths books and spelling books will be ready for them to take home on the Wednesday.)

• Daily reading to an adult (Thank you all those parents and carers who have added comments to the reading records. I am really grateful and so delighted to read of all the reading that is going on at home. It is invaluable!)
• Maths: CGP Maths Year 2 Book: Children to complete pages 14, 15 and 16 with lots of helpful discussion about the questions with a parent or carer!
• Spellings to learn for test on 7.10.25:  

Spelling Shed Words where 'c' makes a /s/ sound before 'e', 'i' and 'y'. Children should notice that all the words contain the c (making s) sound and try to learn to spell as many as they can. If one spelling is enough, that's fine. If they think they can learn more, or all, of the spellings, that's fine too. Spelling test will be on Tuesday 7th October 2025, when everyone will get the chance to show what they have learnt. 

All these words contain the letter c, which makes a s sound in these words:

space

circle

fancy

rice

city

lace

circus

cell

ice

race

Children would benefit from writing a sentence containing each one of the words. Sentences should be written in the red spellings books if children choose to challenge themselves with this task. Here is an example to get them started:

The adventurous astronauts flew their rocket into space.

Children, don't forget a sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

Thanks so much for all the support you give to your children in their home learning. It really makes a huge difference.

Best wishes,

Mr Lewis
