Hi, I'm Mrs Murphy and I'm looking forward to being your teacher in Year 2 this year. At home I have 3 children and my dog Max who loves to walk around the village and meet new friends so please say hello if you see us! We love walking as a family and our favourite holidays are on the hills or at the beach.

ClassDojo is our main of way of communicating with you. This is a great way of creating a strong connection between parents and teachers. We love to hear about the brilliant things the children have been doing as well as work they've done at home.

Individual Reading

Children will bring home the Little Wandle Decodable reading book (which is matched to their phonic knowledge) they have read in class at the end of each week. We encourage you to listen to your child read the text three times as we do with the guided reading books in class.  Please do let us know how your child is getting on with their reading at home on Class Dojo.

We have a fabulous extensive range of reading books to complement our Little Wandle reading scheme. The children read the books three times (decode/prosody/comprehension) in class. At the end of the week your child will bring the reading book home to read. The book will be sent home in a plastic zip wallet, with your child’s name on to protect it. It must be returned to school by the following Wednesday. It will be signed back in.
To maintain our stock of books for the children to be able to learn to read with and enjoy we politely ask parents to read and consent to the following terms:
· We will ensure that the reading books are treated with respect and that we take good care of them. It must be kept in the plastic zip wallet it is sent home in.
· We return books that we have borrowed promptly and in good condition in the plastic zip wallet the following Wednesday.
· We understand that a charge of £5 on Arbor may be incurred for any lost or seriously damaged books (this charge will be put towards a replacement book).
We understand a new reading book will not be sent home until the previous one has been returned to school or paid for (if misplaced or damaged)

In Year 2 we begin by continuing to read in guided reading groups x3 per week using the Little Wandle reading scheme. When children are confident with Phase 5 books they will move onto more challenging books to improve their fluency and prosody.

Whole class reading sessions also take place 2x per week and the children build on their VIPERS skills from year 1. The texts used help to build on the learning in the wider curriculum.

Our first text we use in the Autumn Term is 'The Light in the Night' by Marie Voight.

Our first writing topic this term will focus on the wonderful book 'On the Way Home' by Jill Murphy. We will be verbally retelling the story in school, using drama to roleplay and then writing simple sentences about the story. In the final week we will write a narrative and publish it with our best handwriting. This piece of writing will be a brilliant opportunity for the children to practice their creative writing. We can't wait to showcase the published pieces.
