Welcome to Year 2
Welcome to Year 2's class page! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! Please see our updated newsletter on all of the things we will be getting up to during the Spring Term.
We have settled nicely into our new term and we hope that the children enjoy the rest of their time in Year 2.
If you have any questions or concerns please come and speak to me at the end of the day or call the school office to arrange an appointment.

What's Happening in Year 2...
Autumn 2
What a fantastic half term! Year 2 worked extremely hard and impressed everyone with their amazing acting and singing skills in their Nativity 'Baaarmy Bethlehem'.
In Literacy, we explored the text 'The Night Gardener'. The children wrote their own setting narratives focusing on describing the orphanage. They then used their skills to write a diary entry in the POV of William and really worked hard to include features they have been learning about so far.
In Maths, we continued our work with numbers, looking at place value and the four operations! Year 2 especially put their brains to the test when some of the calculations bridged 10.
Year 2 were very enthusiastic and engaged in Geography when learning about the UK and its surrounding countries.
Let's make Spring Term even better, Year 2! 
Useful letters & documents

Please see our Autumn newsletter for P.E days & general information.
Reading
Reading is a crucial way in which you can help your child at home. Please read with your child every night, even if it is only for 10 minutes! This will help with our special Year 2 Reading award (Radiant Reader of the Week!)
Homework
It is vital that children are completing their small Homework tasks that are set weekly. These are used as a consolidation of what we have learnt throughout the week. Please see below for reminders.
HOMEWORK - Every FRIDAY homework will be set on DB Primary. Please can all homework be completed by the following FRIDAY.
READING DAYS - Please see the reading days stuck into the cover of your child's reading diaries.
The Way, The Truth and the Life.
At St Clement's we follow 'The Way the Truth, The Life' scheme in RE. The children cover a different topic each term as shown below.
Spring 1
The Good News
This topic is designed to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the joy that Jesus brings and to reflect on how we can bring joy to others. The children will learn that Jesus brings the good news of God’s love through his miracles and so turns sadness into joy.
Spring 2
The Mass
This topic is designed to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding of the celebration of the Mass. The children will learn about the readings at Mass and why they should listen to them. They will know what happens at the Offertory and that the bread and wine are changed into Jesus.
