11. Literacy year overview

12. Homework and Reading
We believe that homework plays an important role in children’s learning and in developing an effective partnership with parents and carers. Our expectation is that children should read at home with an adult at least 5 times a week. The adult should date, sign and make a comment each time the child is heard reading in the home school reading diary. In school the child will be heard reading at least once a week

14. Sounds write
We teach daily phonics focusing on a specific sound for two weeks. We will be sending home spellings on a Friday that will be tested the following Friday relating to the sounds learnt in class.

15. T4W inc story maps
Literacy at Easton CE Academy is taught through “Talk 4 Writing”. This involves the children learning to tell stories and non fiction texts by using actions and story maps to help them learn the texts. Once the children become expert storytellers, they begin to use new and adventurous language in their writing and have a better understanding of how to write for a range of purposes.

16. Maths
Maths is taught daily. Over the year we will cover calculation, place value, shape, time and measure. The homework set each week will reflect that week’s area of learning and will give children the chance to consolidate what they have learnt. It will be relating to the stage of the Maths Challenge they are on.

17. Wider curriculum
In addition to Science and Topic, we will be teaching PSHE and RE.
Children in Year 2 will have many opportunities to enjoy cooking, as part of our cooking curriculum within the school. We will also be going on exciting school trips this year.

18. Parent Volunteers
