Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 5.9.25
Y2 Friday 5th September 2025 Looking Back & Forth
Looking back:
Well done Year 2 you should all feel very proud of how well you have all 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 and in English we discussed and wrote about our aspirations for the future. We have talked about the school rules, what makes a great classroom and why it is important to show respect to others.
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:
My highlight was writing my aspiration because I liked telling people.
My highlight was revisiting our number bonds.
My highlight was talking about conjunctions.
My highlight was PE because we learnt how to skip.
My highlight was everything!
I liked maths when we practised writing numbers.
My highlight of the week was handwriting.
My highlight was coming back to school and seeing my friends again.
Family discussion questions:
- Please talk about the first week 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.
Drop in parent’s start of year information evening is on Wednesday 10th September at 5pm- alternatively, please email me with any queries.
I look forward to meeting many of you on the 10th,
Mr Warhurst
