Homework
Reading - Books are changed on Friday, please try to read as many times as you can recording any comments in your child's reading diary. If your child needs to change their book before Friday please ask their class teacher.
We have a new reading reward chart. Children can move up the ladder for everyday that they read during the week (this must be recorded in your child's reading record). Once children reach the top of the castle they will recieve a certificate and be entered into a prize draw at the end of every half term

Spellings :
Every week we send spellings home to practise. These spellings are words that are very important to learnn in Year 2. In the front of your child's spelling book you will find a variety of activities for your child to practise their spellings. These will be sent home on Mondays to be returned on Friday. On Friday's we have a spelling quiz.
