This week in Leicestershire 2

TERM 6 WEEK 2 : 11/6/25

We have had another busy week in year 2 as we begin to practise for Sports Day, making the most of the glorious weather! Please remember to name any hats and water bottles that come to school as it is hard to keep track of everyone's belongings as they move around the school.

In maths this week we have been looking at data handling and statistics, exploring bar charts and tally charts to collect data. The children really enjoy this topic, so you may find some data exploration going on at home this week!

We are all enjoying our challenging text 'The Iron Man' and this week have looked at persuasive writing, encouraging the farmers to take action against the Iron Man. We have all enjoyed exploring persuasive language and coming up with ideas to stop the Iron Man!

Reading:

Children should be reading everyday and once a week this can be logged on Boom Reader: 

https://www.boomreader.co.uk/parents

• All children who are on RWI will bring home a RWI Reading book each Friday, please return them the following Thursday. 
• Children in Year 2 also begin to bring home a book from the Discovery Centre which is levelled according to the Accelerated Reader (AR) scheme  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/accelerated-reader-1/

      These books can be returned and swapped as soon as they are finished. There is also a quiz                    associated with these books which children must complete after they have finished each AR book:  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/year-2-1/

Some children will bring home both a RWI Reading book and an AR levelled reading book - please read both with your child. Both books should be left in their bags so they can read them at school, as well as at home, to enhance their fluency.
