Ready Steady Write
Across our writing lessons, we will be focusing on key vehicle texts. These will be used to develop our vocabulary and to further refine our author’s knowledge and voice.
Year 2 Long Term Plan

Physical Education Dates
Our P.E. days are on Monday and Wednesday each week.
Homework and Reading
Homework will be set weekly and will have an English and Maths focus. Homework books will be sent out on a Friday. We ask that these are returned on a Wednesday for marking.
We would also like you to practice reading daily. The books sent home are carefully matched to your child's phonics phase and they will have read in this in class. Books will be collected and changed each Friday.
All About Foxes Class
Foxes Class is a place where curiosity leads the way. We encourage children to ask questions, explore ideas, and take pride in their achievements. Our learning is active, engaging, and rooted in strong routines that help every child feel confident and supported.
We build a classroom culture where:
- Every child feels valued
- Effort is celebrated
- Mistakes are part of learning
- Teamwork and kindness matter
- Children grow not just academically, but personally
In Foxes Class, your child is part of a community built on The Rishton Way. These three values shape everything we do:
- Ready – We come prepared to learn, explore, and take on new challenges. Our children develop strong learning habits, independence, and pride in being ready for each new day.
- Respectful – We treat everyone with kindness, fairness, and understanding. Foxes thrive in families, and we do too: listening carefully, celebrating differences, and showing respect for ourselves, each other, and our school.
- Safe – We make choices that keep ourselves and others safe. Whether online, in the classroom, or outdoors, we teach children to think wisely, act responsibly, and feel secure in their environment.
