Our Year 2 Staff

Class Teachers:  Mrs Milanovic (Monday and Tuesday) and Mrs Baker (Wednesday-Friday)

Homework

Reading: Please hear your child read as much as possible, ideally five times a week. Once you have read with your child, please write in their reading diary and don't forget to colour in a star. Once your child has read 30 times, they will receive a reading certificate in our Celebration Assembly. 

Spelling: Your child will receive new spellings every other Friday. Please practise these at home as often as you can. 

In addition to this, children will be given a task every half term linking to their learning to complete at home. 

Class Routines

PE - Monday PM (Mr O'Keeffe) and Wednesday PM (Mrs Baker)

Library - Friday 

Teacher PPA will take place on a Monday afternoon. Mr O'Keefe and Mrs McComish will take the class and deliver the PE and RE curriculum. 

For a more detailed overview, please see the curriculum overview at the bottom of this class page. 

Phonics

Children at St. Michael's Primary School are taught phonics through a systematic programme called Read Write Inc. This is a highly regarded scheme designed to help children learn to read fluently and confidently through a structured and engaging approach. Children will be taught in small groups based on their phonological knowledge and their progress will be assessed every half term. 

Please take a look on the Read Write Inc website for more information www.ruthmiskin.com/parentsandcarers/

Parents are also welcome to sign up to use Oxford Owl, where you are able to access a wider variety of books for your child to read online. 

If you have any questions about Read Write Inc and Phonics, please speak to Mrs Baker or Mrs Milanovic.
