Year 2
Christmas
Year 2 have been working hard on their Christmas celebrations. We also have been talking about diversity, difference and being accepting of others. For our Christmas Performance we decided to perform 'Away in a Manger' with Makaton Sign Language so people that are have difficulties with their hearing can enjoy our performance too! We hope you like our video and have a wonderful Christmas.

Homework
In the front of your child's reading record there is a list of words that children in year 2 must be able to read and spell. Please practice reading and spelling these with your child.
In your child's reading record, you will also find their log in details for TTRockstars.
Your child will be sent home with phonetically decodable reading books, which will be changed on a Friday. When they read 5 times at home they move up the reading rainbow. Once your child reaches the top of the reading rainbow they will receive a certificate.
