Badger Class - Year 2/3

HELLO!

 Welcome to Badger Class. Meet the staff in your classroom:

  

Miss Tuckley                 Mrs Vunnava

 Autumn Term

 Please take a look at the following PDF to see what we will be doing this autumn term (24/25).

 

Our knowledge organisers can be used at home to help reinforce the children's learning.

 

HOME LEARNING

Year 2/3 children will receive four set home learning activities a week. Each one feeds directly into basic skills that they have been developing in school.

1. Spellings 

2. Vocabulary 

3. TTRockstars

4. Reading (reading at least 3 times a week)

We all know it is very important that the children are reading at home as much as possible. The children are rewarded as 'Reading Champions' if they read at home at least 3 times each week.

It is critical that adults at home are checking the reading champion books and marking their child's reading as this will support them with their learning in school and help them with their phonics knowledge.

Each Friday we will send a new learning home. These should be returned by Friday ready for marking. Dojo points will also be rewarded for competed home learning. 

 Extra home learning may be given linked to a particular subject learnt during school this week. This could be History, Geography, Science, RE, PSHE or DT. 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Our Library day is Tuesday. Please take the time to enjoy the book borrowed from school and make sure it is returned in time to be swapped out. These books are for enjoyment so may not be at the same level of your child's star reader level.

 Our P.E days will be on Thursday and Friday. Please come to school in your P.E kit on these days.
