Great Berry Primary Academy


Year 2. Puffins and Kingfishers

Welcome to Year 2!

Welcome back from your summer break, we hope you enjoyed the sunshine filled break and are rested and ready to learn. 

 PE Days

Mrs Bennett -  Monday & Wednesday

Miss Cook - Wednesday & Friday

Please ensure all earrings are removed and hair is tied up.

Homework

Homework will be sent out on Thursday and is due back on Tuesday.

Maths homework will be completed either from worksheets in homework books or on NumBots (passwords to follow).  English will be detailed on the weekly overview and is to be completed in the homework book.  Spellings will be sent home weekly, tests will be in class on Friday morning.

Times Table Challenge

Every half term we will focus on a new times table. We will practise this in class and would encourage it at home also.  This term, as we have now covered our 2, 5 and 10 times table, we will have a mixed test.  Those who achieve full marks will receive a certificate in assembly.

Daily Reading

To promote the importance of daily reading, children in Year 2 can earn reading certificates which they will receive in assembly.  They can progress from Bronze for 25 reads, Silver for 50, Gold for 100, Platinum for 200, right through to Diamond for 300 reads.  Only one read is counted per day, unless they also read with a school adult. Please remember to sign your child's reading record to ensure they achieve their goal.

Thank you  for your continued support.

Kind regards

Year 2 team
