Rift House Primary School

Class 4 - Year 2

Mrs Ward

welcome to YEAR 2 ...

We offer challenges and support to all children to ensure they reach their potential in all lessons.

We encourage the children to explore the world with all their senses and to begin to ask questions about their learning and the world around them.

In Year 2 we have a positive learning attitude and work hard to achieve our personal goals and targets. We all try to make the right 'Choices' and give a 100% in everything we do.

Warren Berger: 'Knowing the answers will help you in school, but knowing how to question will help you in life.'

Information for parents: 2020 key stage 1 tests

During May, all Year 2 children take the end of Key Stage national tests (‘SATs’). These tests are designed to check that children in all schools are making progress. The tests are a tool for teachers to help them measure your child’s performance and identify their needs as they move into key stage 2. They also allow teachers to see how your child is performing against national expected standards.

To prepare for the tests children will be practicing and getting support throughout the school day.

Can we ask to support your child at home by completing the following:

To read 5-10 minutes each night and ask questions relating to what has happened in the book and to find certain words and understand the meaning of it.
To practise 2x 5x and 10x tables. This can be fun for the children by playing the following game as we do in school. Please click on the following link... https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button
To practise must know words as this will help your child in their writing and reading as well. To print or find the words please click on the following document:

Our Spring term was very different this year as we spent most of learning at home. Here is some of the things we did using SeeSaw as our learning platform and when we returned to school.

We are back at school for the summer term and things are exciting already. We have made an assembly for all of the school to watch about our 'Choices' been growing plants and learning lots of other wonderful things in class. Look at our photos.
