Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 4.9.26

Y2 Friday 4th September 2026 Looking Back & Forth

Looking back: 

Well done Year 2- you should all feel very proud of how well you have returned to school! It has been amazing to see such a positive mindset and how well you’ve started to settle into the new classroom routines.    

This week we have recapped number bonds to 10 in maths and in English we have discussed and written about our aspirations for the future. We have talked about the school rules, what makes a great classroom and how to treat others with respect

Family discussion questions:

  • Please talk about the first few days back and what has gone well for your child and any questions they might have. Discuss their aspiration and what they need to do to achieve it.

Looking forward:

  • PE will be on Fridays. Please ensure school PE kit is worn.
  • We will explore a new book to inspire our writing.
  • We will begin place value work in maths.
  • We will discuss Healthy Me in science.
  • We start discussing our Exhibition work.

Reminders-

Reading books will be sent out next week and should be brought into school every day. Children’s books will be changed weekly- usually on Mondays.

Please continue to read every night as this underpins so much learning in Year 2. For every consecutive 14 days of reading the children will receive 10 house points and see their face on the ‘Reading Challenge Wall of Fame’. Please record this in reading diaries so I can track their progress and please make a note if you think 14 consecutive days have been completed.

Our parent’s start of year information evening is on Tuesday 15th September at 5pm- alternatively, please email me with any queries.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Warhurst
