Welcome to Year 2

In Year 2, we enjoy fun, cross-curricular topics and try to link a school trip or a themed day to our topic work. Each topic lasts approximately half a term. 

The children are given opportunities to work collaboratively in co-operative, mixed ability groups and to work independently.

Each morning, children will spend time engaging in English, Maths and Reading lessons. 

Each afternoon, children will engage in a weekly Art, Science, History, Geography, PSHE, Music, Computing, DT or RE lessons. 

During the school day, children will also have access to resources and enhancements to further challenge their learning. 

PE is every Monday. 

Forest School is every Tuesday morning. 

Please see the attached file below for our curriculum overview.

The Sway documents give further insight into each subject.

Homework

We ask that all Year 2 children practice maths facts at home 3 times a week and for this to be recorded in their planner. We suggest number bond practice, counting and recalling multiplication facts including 2x, 5x, 10x. 

We expect all our children to read at least 3 times a week and for this to be recorded in their planners.
Reading books are changed each Friday.
