Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Roman Catholic Primary School

Let no one ever come to us without leaving feeling better and happier.

Class 2

Our Lady's School is a caring family, where, with Jesus in our hearts, we value everyone and encourage them to be the best that they can be.

Welcome to Class 2!

In Year 2 we hope to learn lots, have fun and grow together in God's love.

Hello! My name is Miss Watkinson and I am your class teacher.

We are joined in class by Miss Young and Mrs Stefaniak.

P.E.

PE will be on a Tuesday and Thursday each week. Children should come to school wearing their PE kit for outdoor sports. They do not need to bring their uniform on this day.

Book Bags

Reading book bags are expected to be in every day. We may also listen to your child read their home reading book on any day and record this in their reading record so this is needed in school daily. Two reading books will be sent home every Thursday: a phonics book for your child to read aloud and a story book from the library that can be read to the child by an adult or, if able, read themselves.

It is important that children are read with daily at home and in school.

Children should read their phonics book every day, so that the book becomes familiar and your child becomes more confident reading it each time to build up their reading fluency. Please sign your child's reading record each time they have read; this will support them in becoming Star Reader for the half term.

Homework

Year 2 pupils will be set homework on Purple Mash.

- Reading should be daily (books changed on a Friday).

- Maths homework will be on a Thursday.

Maths homework needs to be completed by the Thursday of the following week.

Purple Mash allows us to set homework, allows your child to send it back to us and allows us to provide feedback on their achievement.

Any problems using this please let us know, as we are eager for children to continue their learning at home.

Rules and Rewards

We follow the three school rules throughout school: Be Ready, Be Respectful and Be Safe.

Children are rewarded for following these rules with ticks on their behaviour passport. At 50 ticks, a child is awarded their bronze badge; at 100 ticks a child is awarded their silver badge and at 150 ticks a child is awarded their gold badge!

Children are also recognised through certificates, the values book and by winning the golden tie for demonstrating a specific learning skill that week.

Any Questions?

If you have any questions regarding the curriculum your child is being taught, please contact school.

At Our Lady's we are always pleased to meet our parents, I will be available to talk to you any day before 8.45 and after school. If you would like me to ring you, please leave a message at the school office.

We welcome parents into our classroom many times throughout the year: parent showcases of learning, Christmas craft, sharing stories, Mother's Day, Father's Day among many more so please join us at these events. A text message will be sent prior to the event giving notice of the date and time.

Many thanks for your ongoing support,

Miss Watkinson

Autumn 1

We have been using resources to support our understanding of number in maths.

We started off our maths learning, on the first day back, with some different maths games.

We have been using resources and part-part-whole models to flexibly partition any 2-digit number.

As part of our learning about puppets, we first made finger puppets! These can be used as a character to tell many stories.

As part of our DT work on puppets, we began to learn to sew as a more secure way of joining fabrics. We first practised a running stitch pattern on a threading board and then use a needle to practise a running stitch in felt.

Here we are practising an over stitch pattern on a threading board before doing an overstitch to join two pieces of felt together with a needle and thread by sewing.
