Year 2’s learning support assistants are Mrs Plant, Mrs Fleming and Mrs O'Connor. Year 2 PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment time) will be on Thursday mornings; during this time, children will be taught RE by Miss Gillett, maths by Mrs Davies, and PE by Ms Tichelly. PE will be on a Monday and Thursday. Children should come to school in their PE kits on their PE days. Library days are Monday and Tuesday.

Maths
To secure fluency in number, place value, addition and subtraction facts. Each lesson will be comprised of recalling number facts, counting, revision of year 1 fluency and strategies, securing their knowledge and understanding of the number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 and each lesson will begin with a retrieval activity to promote recall of previous number facts; this will be underpinned with the completion of homework.

English
The book focus for summer 1 will be Yucky Worms and summer 2 will be Grace and Family. As part of the enjoyment of reading, the Power of Reading books will be unveiled as the term progresses. In addition to our English lessons, children will have handwriting, vocabulary and spelling practice. 

Equipment
Pupils should bring their reading books, reading diaries and library books to school daily. The school sells Bournville Village Primary School bags which we recommend as they are the perfect size for everything your child needs and fit well in our small cloakrooms. A Bournville Village Primary School water bottle can also be purchased from the school office or the school shop.
