Sycamore Class
Welcome to Sycamore Class!
Taught by Miss Barker, Sycamore Class is our vibrant and enthusiastic Year 2 class. Our classroom is a warm and welcoming space where creativity, fun, and a love of learning are at the heart of everything we do. We’ve got an exciting year ahead, full of fantastic opportunities and new adventures in learning!
Reading in Year 2
Reading is a big focus in Year 2. Each week, your child will bring home a reading book to help them make great progress. Books will be sent home on Mondays and should be returned by Fridays.
We also place a strong emphasis on phonics, which supports children in both reading and writing. It’s a vital part of their early learning journey. For more information, don’t forget to visit our Phonics page!
See What We're Up To!
Be sure to check out all the amazing things happening in Sycamore Class on our 'Look What We’re Doing!' tab and over on Class Dojo – we love sharing our learning with you!
P. E.
This term, Sycamore Class will have two P.E. sessions taught by Miss Barker. We will be doing dance on a Monday and bench sequence on a Tuesday.
Please send your child to school in their P.E. kits on these days.
Our P.E. kit is a plain white t-shirt, plain black shorts or jogging trousers and black trainers or plimsoles. Our school sweatshirt can also be worn. Please wear joggers in the cooler weather.
Spellings and Homework
Each week, we introduce a brand-new spelling pattern for the children to explore! There are plenty of chances to practise these spellings daily in school, and we’ll also send home a list so your child can practise reading and writing their spellings at home.
Every Friday, we have a spelling quiz, and the children are always encouraged to do their very best! We focus on celebrating how many words are spelled correctly, rather than the ones that aren’t – it’s all about progress and building confidence!
We love seeing photographs of the children’s amazing work! If your child completes any spelling practice at home, feel free to share it on Class Dojo. We’ll give lots of positive feedback and celebrate their hard work!
Thank you so much for all the support you give to your child’s learning!
