Welcome to year 2!
We are really looking forward to the year ahead. This is an incredibly important year for us all as we get to know each other, learn new things and take on more challenges. There are lots of exciting new topics to learn, including “Happy, Healthy Me!”, “Fire! Fire!”, “Who’s the King of the Castle?” and many more!
In Year Two, we will start to become more independent and take responsibility for our own learning. At RLK, reading five times a week at home is our weekly challenge! Reading books from school, the library or even reading your favourite magazines or comics will all count towards achieving individual prizes such as certificates, bookmarks and even a reading medal, so please make sure that reading records are brought into school every day so that we can count up your scores.
There will be other opportunities for you to show your learning at home too. On our school website, you will find lists of spellings to practise each term ready for a class quiz that will take place every Friday. Soon, we will begin to complete Times Table Rockstars challenges at school and at home too. There will also be Purple Mash activities for you to complete across the school year.
Hopefully, you will be as excited as us to get back to school, see your friends, meet your teachers and try your very best at learning new things! If there are any worries, questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to come and talk to us at the door or via the Office.
