Tawny Owls - Year 2 / Year 3
Welcome to Tawny Owls! We are a happy, hardworking class led by our class teacher, Miss Tombling (Miss T), and our wonderful teaching assistant, Mrs Hutchings.
We believe in the importance of teamwork, showing respect to one another, communicating positively and demonstrating perseverance, even when things get tricky. Together, we support each other, celebrate our successes and embrace new challenges as we learn and grow!
Our Term 2 Overview
Home Learning
As we continue with our approach to homework in Tawny Owls, I would like to remind everyone of our expectations. As learning across the different subjects becomes more challenging, I have chosen to keep additional subject-based homework to a minimum.
This is to ensure that children have plenty of time to rest, relax and enjoy time outside of school, without feeling overwhelmed by additional tasks.
Children are still expected to practise their spellings, read regularly with an adult and complete their TT Rockstars activities. These activities should not take too long and will help to reinforce the learning taking place in the classroom, while still allowing children plenty of time to enjoy their hobbies, interests and the things they love!
Spellings
Spellings will be stuck into children's reading records on a Thursday or Friday, ready to be practised at home before being tested the following Thursday.
Year 2 and Year 3 children will receive separate spelling lists each week. For children who are still working on phonics, their spellings will focus on the sounds and spelling rules covered in their phonics sessions that week. Additional support and interventions will also be provided throughout the week where needed.
Please find below the yearly overview for spellings:
PE and Forest School
Our PE days are Thursdays and Fridays, so please ensure your child comes to school wearing their PE kit on both days.
Forest School will take place every other Tuesday when the children are with Mr Perry. The upcoming dates for Tawny Owls are Tuesday 3rd November, Tuesday 17th November and Tuesday 1st December 2026. Please ensure children come prepared for outdoor learning and bring their wellies and a waterproof coat.

Knowledge Organisers
Each term, children will receive a new knowledge organiser in their exercise books for Science, History, Geography, French and RE. These provide an overview of the key knowledge, vocabulary and important facts they will be learning throughout the term. They can be used as a helpful reference in lessons and at home to support children in remembering and revisiting their learning.
