• Learning in Year 2

Teacher: Miss James

Teaching Assistants: Miss Howard, Miss Hall, Miss Darlington and Miss Begum

Welcome to Seacole Class!

We are named after Mary Seacole, a brave and determined lady who travelled across the world helping to care for soldiers during war times.  Mary lived more than 150 years ago and she was born in Jamaica.  Her mother was Jamaican and her father was Scottish, so Mary was mixed race. We will be learning lots more about her amazing life throughout the year together.

We will also be enjoying some other fantastic topics in Year 2 including learning about Planet Earth, The Great Fire of London, Monarchs, plants, materials, habitats and much more.

We encourage and support the children to read daily both in and out of school. The children will enjoy listening and sharing stories every day in class.  They will also continue to have access to a variety of online reading books using their log-in for Bug Club.

At South Failsworth Primary School a positive attitude to learning and good behaviour is celebrated using our reward system. Children are awarded mission merits for following the Steps to Success. Their learning and behaviour are also celebrated in class.

Important information

• New spellings will be given out on Fridays and your child will bring home a sheet to practise these on.  Please try and practise these every day at home. The children will then be tested on these words the following Friday.
• Children will be provided with reading books which will be changed once a week. Books will be changed once they have been read and recorded in the Reading Record book. Please ensure your child has their reading book with them every day.
• Homework – children  can complete a project of their choice linked to an area of their learning. This is completed once every half term.
• Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. The children should come to school in their PE kit on these days.
• If you need to contact us, you can speak to us at the door before or after school. Alternatively, you can email or call the office who will pass on your message to us and we will get back to you.

Thank you in advance for your support,

Year 2 Team
