Homework & Spellings
Homework is sent home on a Friday and is due back in on Monday.
The spellings for your child are sent home each Friday. Spelling sheets should be kept at home so the children can keep practising. They will be tested on the spellings on the following Friday. We will practise these spellings in class as well. The spellings also include the Year 2 Common Exception Words.

Additional Class Information - Class Dojo
We use a communication tool with parents called Class Dojo. It is an app that you can download and keep up to date with school news and your child's learning. We post pictures often of what has been happening in class. We will also post homework on here and ideas about how to support your child's learning at home. This programme also allows your child to earn dojo points by demonstrating positive behaviour in school.
In Year 2, we do a prize box every Friday and Dojo of the week!
Certificates are given and stickers to praise children.
