Honiley Class

Age Related Expectations

Welcome to Honiley, our Year 2 Class! We are taught by Mr Byrom as well as Mrs Eaves on a Wednesday.

We are very excited to begin our learning journey in Year 2 this Autumn Term!

We will continue to promote high expectations in school and at home whilst also ensuring that the emotional and social wellbeing of your child is prioritised.

If you would like to get more involved, to offer your expertise, skills or time in any way, we would be delighted to hear from you. In addition, if you would like to discuss anything further please feel free to come into school to see us. 

Of course, our learning and progress is hugely supported by the people at home so we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support throughout the year and are grateful for the support you will give going forwards.

Make sure you are following our twitter account (@HonileyClass) for regular updates!

Many thanks for your support,

Mr Byrom

PE

Year 2 will have PE on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure that your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on this day. It is really important they have a kit that is suitable for indoor and outdoor weather as we will be outside when the weather permits. Children should wear a white T-shirt. black/navy joggers and trainers. They should also wear their school jumper.

WHAT TO BRING EACH DAY

Each day, your child will need to bring the following into school:

  • A water bottle. This will be sent home each evening so a clean one can be sent in the following day.

  • Reading record and reading books. Your child should have this in school every day.

  • A coat (preferably waterproof).

Topic Information

Topic:

This term, our topic is the Victorians! Below is a knowledge organiser which outlines what we will be learning and the vocabulary we will be using in class. It would be great if you could discuss this with your child.

Homework

Homework will be given out on Wednesday and are expected to be handed back into school the following Monday.

Maths homework will be sent online via MyMaths - Please see your child’s homework book for further details.

The children are expected to read daily from and return the signed reading record and reading books to school every day. The children will then change their book if needed for the week. The children can change their books more than once a week, depending on the book and level of enjoyment.

Recommended reading list:

It’s important for children to read as much as possible; to enjoy reading; to want to share what they have read with someone else and to challenge themselves to read different authors from different periods of time. In this way the children will build a rich vocabulary and greater understanding of the techniques authors use in their work to be able to apply this in their own writing. Have a look at our recently updated recommended reading list below!
