Squirrel Class
Year 2
Class of 2025-2026
Welcome to Year 2 Squirrel Class! Year 2 is taught by Mrs Shaw and Mrs Moore who is our Class Teaching Assistant. In Year 2 we use formal teaching tables alongside continuous provision to help consolidate the children's learning and development. Towards the end of Year 2 we move to a more formal style of teaching to support the children with their transition into KS2.
If you ever need to contact Mrs Shaw, please do so through Class Dojo or via email.

Supporting your child's learning at home
Homework
Reading
❑ Read school reading book 5 times each week. Record a comment for each read in reading diaries - ensuring this fits within just one box.
❑ Children should complete the before and after reading pages in their Twinkl Phonics Reading book. This can be evidenced in homework books.
Spelling
❑ All children will receive a half termly spelling list which will be stuck in the front of homework books at the start of each half term. Practise the 10 spellings for the weekly test using whichever strategy your child finds most effective. This can be recorded in homework books but is not essential.
Maths
❑ Access Numbots 25 minutes per week from September-January.
❑ From January children in Year 2 will be expected to practise their 10’s, 2’s, 5’s and 3’s. Children will be tested on these weekly. A spotlight will be held where games/strategies will be discussed. Children are welcome to continue to use Numbots alongside practising their times tables and TTRS will also be available for children to access.
