Skylarks Year 2 2025 - 2026

Welcome to Skylarks' class page.

Hello and welcome to Skylarks' class page.

I hope you have all had a wonderful Summer break and are ready for an exciting new term ahead.

.

Below you will find an overview of our learning for Autumn Term 1.

In Skylarks team this year we will have Mrs Hall plus Mrs Marsden, who will be working with us each morning. Mrs Austin will also join us each Wednesday morning and Mrs Burrows will work with small groups of children during the week. 

As we move through Year 2 we will continue to review all the phonics that have been learned previously, but will now begin to apply this knowledge to our spelling as well as our reading. After several weeks of phonic revision we will begin daily spelling lessons, which are linked to our English scheme.

Reading remains a huge focus in Year 2. Your child will bring home a reading book each week plus a library book for you to share together. Please  read with your child for 5-10 minutes each day as this is essential in supporting their fluency, comprehension and love of reading. While reading with your child try to discuss the books too: what has happened so far, what they think may happen next, who are their favourite characters…

P.E will be taught twice a week, on Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon. Please make sure that your child has the correct kit and trainers for these sessions. As it starts to get cooler, it is advisable that the children bring jogging bottoms, a warm zip up hoodie / jumper for when we go outside for P.E. plus their usual blue shorts and white t-shirt for indoor lessons. P.E kits will be sent home each Friday to be washed and should be returned on the following Monday. Please ensure that all PE kits, and sweatshirts, are named so that they return to their rightful owners. Could you also ensure that children bring their water bottle, (containing still water, not juice), to school each day.

Please continue to check our class Dojo account to keep up to date with our daily activities.

As always, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me via the class dojo messaging platform or catch me after school.
