Year 2

Time to say goodbye

As the academic year 2019-20 draws to a close, it's now time to say goodbye.

Don't forget you all have a special Leavers book filled with wonderful memories of your time at the Infant school. Treasure them. We certainly loved looking back at how much you have grown.

In the words of our Year Two Leavers song:                                              

We're proud of what you've done.

Go from here with confidence for all the things to come!

Have a wonderful summer holiday. Stay safe and have fun!

We'll see you dressed in blue in September.

Lots of love 

The Year Two Team

Don't forget the Homework choice grid that is stuck in the Homework log. Pick additional activities that are appropriate to complete. 

Home Learning          

We will update this page weekly with learning tasks for the children to complete at home. We recommend that you plan and prioritise the basics- English and Maths. Children learn better in the morning so focus on these subjects then.

A suggested typical day:

Try and keep to a similar routine each day and build in regular break times. Physical activity will be more important than ever.

To contact your child's class teacher, use the listed email below. These email addresses are to be used to ask questions about learning activities sent home or  set online. Teachers will endeavour to respond during normal school hours. Any other questions should be sent directly to Mrs Smart.

Tuesday 6th November 2018 - Derby County trip to Pride Park

Year 2s had a lovely day at Pride Park to support their topic 'Can I Be A Sporting Hero?'

Friday 14th September 2018 - Homework & Reading

All children will be bringing home their homework book today. Homework for the federation will be accessed on line this year via Reading Eggs/Eggspress and Mathletics. A guidance to this along with your child's login details is stuck into their homework book. We appreciate not all families have access to the internet therefore Year 2 will run a homework club on a Wednesday lunchtime. 

Reading books have also been sent home today, children will no longer earn book worms for their reading at home, but please continue to read at home as this makes a huge difference to a child's progress.

Thursday 6th September 2018 - Talk for Writing

Our Year 2 topic this term is 'Beside the Seaside'. To help launch the topic we have learnt a poem using talk for writing ctions.

Monday 22nd January 2018 - David the Bee Farmer

Today we had a visitor in Year 2, David the Bee Farmer. He came to talk to us about bees and the life cycle of a bee. It was really interesting, and we all (even the teachers) learnt lots of new facts.

Did you know...

• Bees only live for 9-10 weeks, however the Queen bee lives for 3-4 years.
• A bee flies up to 15 miles per hour
• Up to 50,000 bees live in one hive
• A worker bee makes a teaspoon of honey in their lifetime

Why not visit his website to find out more about him

100% attendance

Well done to all the children in year 2 who received their certificates for 100% attendance last half term. 

Interviewing Mr Green

Wednesday 4th October 2017

Year 2 have been for a tour around the school this week. We noticed different things about the school and then thought of questions we could ask someone who knew the school many years ago. 

Mr Green kindly agreed to let us interview him.  He has worked at our school for 33 years, so knew a lot of information about the school.

We discovered that Purple Class and Orange Class didn't exist over 10 years ago. How strange is that! Also every class had a fire in to keep them warm as there was no central heating.

Thursday 8th June 2017

On Monday 12th June Year 2 will be taking part in a 60s themed day. Come dressed in your best party clothes and there may even be a surprise!

Monday 5th June 2017
