Year 2

In English this year, we will be reading a range of exciting books and developing our reading and writing skills. We will be engaging with each book through reading, drama, poetry, discussing our likes, dislikes and predictions as well as relating it to other stories we have heard before. Each book will have a fiction and non-fiction writing outcome. We hope to foster a love of books and reading through individual, guided and shared reading activities. Each child will receive a reading folder containing an individual reading book, reading record book and useful information. Children should bring their reading folder to school daily. When reading at home, please write the date and book title in your child’s yellow reading record with a short comment to communicate with us in school that you have read with your child.

We will be teaching Mathematics using our Maths Mastery programme, taking part in lots of practical activities involving number, shape, space, measure, and problem- solving. We work alone, in partners, in small groups and as a class to improve our Numeracy skills and relate them to real-life situations.

Our afternoons include Science, History, Geography, Design & Technology, Art and Computing and these subjects are taught through topics and key questions. The children also have weekly sessions of R.E., Music and P.E. as well as P.S.H.E. and Philosophy4Children. More information on these can be found by clicking our Curriculum Overview button above or head to out school curriculum pages here.

2E have P.E. on Thursdays and 2M have P.E. on Fridays. Please ensure that your child comes into school in full P.E. kit on this day.

Homework will be set on Fridays via the Seesaw app. Children may respond on Seesaw or in the Home School Link Book which was provided at the beginning of the school year. If you misplace your child’s Seesaw details please contact a member of the Year 2 team we will be happy to help with this.

If you have any questions about Year 2, please speak to a member of our staff on the gate at home-time or contact us via Seesaw or leave a message with the school office.
