General Class Information• Attendance: The classroom doors close at 9:00am prompt.
Anybody arriving after this time must go through the office and will be marked late.
• Playtime: 10:30 – 10:45 and 2:15 – 2:30• Lunchtime: 12:30; children have until 1:15 to eat their lunch. We
promote a Healthy Schools Policy, children are encouraged to bring just one snack.
• Snack: Children have fruit provided for them at morning playtime.• Water: Children may bring in a water bottle each day or can use
the water fountains in school.• Open door Policy: Communication between teachers and parents is
important, please if you have anything you wish to talk about with your child's class teacher please wait to see them at the end of the day or make an appointment at the school office.
• Marking; Due to the age of the children detailed marking in Year 2 is not always appropriate. Therefore motivational comments and verbal feedback are more frequently used. Detailed marking is used only when a teacher has worked with that particular group when the marking can be meaningful.
• Keeping you informed: Each infant class will display any current information in the classroom windows for your reference.

learning in Year 2. • Trips and visitors: We aim to enhance
all topics with a range of experiences.
• Keeping you informed: At the start of each topic we will send home a letter outlining the aims and objectives.

Reading • Reading in School: Children will read with an adult at least
twice a week in year 2. We also read a variety of texts and stories within Literacy, Topic and Letters and Sounds lessons.
• Communication with parents: The individual reading record will be stamped to indicate when a child has read at school. Specific adult comments will also be added when required.
• Home reading: In order for children to become fluent readers they must be given ample opportunity to practise the skills that they learn in school. We would ask that your read as often as possible with your child. Please ensure that this is quality time to share a book together. They will have the opportunity to change their book a number of times during the week.
• Levels: Please remember that children learn to read at different rates and that reading is not a competition. Understanding the text and developing comprehension skills is equally as important as decoding words. Therefore children will not be rushed through levels.

• Children will have weekly spellings.• Children will be assessed in school to find out the phonics
phase they are currently working in. Their spellings will correspond to this.
• Children will be tested on a Friday and new spellings will be given on the same day.
• Children will be given a spelling book where their weekly spellings will be stuck and they are encouraged to use one page to practice each week.
• A good way to practice spellings is to; Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check.
• Their spelling test will be done in school and marked the same day. Their marks are recorded in class and their tests are sent home for you to see.
• Children must bring their spelling book into school every Friday.
