We do not use one reading scheme, we have a wide range of phonic and key word based books. Reading books match the children's phonic knowledge. ### Year 2 Blog Take a look at our blogs [**here**](http://chisyr2.blogspot.co.uk). The email to send your children’s work to is ****. Happy Blogging! ### Blogging Guidelines We are really excited to have our year 2 blog and to be able to share our educational adventures. Keeping these blogs a safe and secure place to work is very important. Through the use of the blogs, the children at Castle Hill Infant School have the opportunity to develop their understanding of online safety and how to behave when on the web. We have a few simple guidelines that we all need to keep to in order to make the most of our year 2 blogs: - Children are to only use their first name when commenting and posting - Parents who leave comments are asked to use their first name only so as not to identify their child. Or post comments as "Paul's Mum" or "Hayley's Granddad" - All posts will be checked by a teacher before they are published to the blog - All comments are moderated by the class teacher before they appear on the blog - Always be respectful of other people's work - be positive if you are going to comment - No text talk - please write in full sentences and read your comments back carefully before submitting - These blogs are the property of the school and all other school rules apply when using them If you have any more concerns about blogging, then please pop into the school and have a chat with Miss Gomes or Miss Lund. ![Castle Hill Infant School](https://files.schudio.com/castle-hill-infant-school/images/logo/castle-hill-infant-school-logo-white-circle.png) #### Castle Hill Infant School Winklebury Way Basingstoke Hampshire RG23 8BN 01256 898300 #### Useful Links - [Term Dates](https://castlehillinfantschool.org/termdates) - [Ofsted Report](https://castlehillinfantschool.org/about-our-school/ofsted-report) - [Policies](https://castlehillinfantschool.org/key-information/policies) - [SEND](https://castlehillinfantschool.org/key-information/send) - [Contact Us](https://castlehillinfantschool.org/contact) © Copyright 2024–2026 Castle Hill Infant School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://castlehillinfantschool.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
