Class Experiences

In year 2 we take great pleasure in providing amazing educational experiences for our pupils. 

Some of the educational trips we have this year include exploring our local area, visiting Nottingham Castle, visiting Twycross Zoo, visiting Nottingham Arboretum and a one-night residential camping experience at White Post Farm. 

Homework

Reading with your child for 10/15 minutes a day is imperative in ensuring they build fluency and understanding. It stimulates their imagination as well as expanding their understanding of the world. Your child will be sent home with two reading books: a Phonics reading book and a reading for pleasure book. Please ensure your child brings their book to school with them each day. 

As well as this, termly homework projects and weekly maths and English homework is set on Seesaw. Please encourage your child to complete their homework weekly as this helps to reinforce what they are learning at school. 

Each child has a Seesaw login. This is stuck at the front of the reading diary. 

Your child also has a Times Table Rock Stars login and a Sumdog login. These are fun and engaging maths programs designed to develop your child’s mental maths skills.
