Homework Information
Each half term your child will be set homework across a range of subjects to support them to consolidate their learning at home. Parents and children should therefore together choose an activity each week to complete. Children will be awarded Dojo's and raffle tickets for completing these activities.
Every week children will also bring home:
- Book Bag Book- to practise reading this 3 times to develop their fleuncy and accuracy of word reading.
- A Book Club book- to enjoy and read for pleasure.
Y2 Spring 2 Homework Challenge
Reading At Home:
A reading record can be found in your child’s book bag. It should be completed at least 3 times per week (by an adult) to record your child's reading at home.
Your child's book bag book will be changed to reflect your child's sound knowledge and fluency levels. We send book bag books home which directly link to their Phonetic or Reading abilities.
Other useful books that are recommended for Year 2 children are listed upon our "50 Recommended Reads". Many of these books are available to loan from our school Library, Airedale Library or will be sent home each week with our Reading Mascot. These texts would be perfect for a bedtime story or when sharing a love of reading at home.
