Welcome to Year 2. Here you will find everything you and your parents need to know about your year group. Below you will find links to homework, letters and announcements, PE and our class gallery.
In Year 2, each child will have daily phonics/reading lessons. Alongside their phonics sessions, children are taught English where they have the opportunity to develop their writing skills. Children also have their maths lessons where we continue to teach and develop the fundamental skills through the mastery curriculum.
We now use KAPOW a scheme whereby all subjects are taught discreetly - Science, History, Art Lessons are delivered through a range of mediums including practical tasks, Singing, role play, construction, debate, research and experimentation. As we begin the new academic year, we learn all about animals and their habitats within our Science. During this unit, we will be spending lots of time outdoors in the wildlife area. We will also be exploring the wildlife area and developing our outdoor learning skills.
Forest School
We will do Forest School at different times over the course of the year and we will let you know if the children need to bring in footwear or waterproofs.
PE
We have PE on Tuesday and Thursdays. Our session on Tuesday could be either dance or forest school. Come to school in your PE kits. You may wear trainers and a blue jumper or cardigan over your PE kit. The children will not be getting changed in school.
Changing reading books
Please make sure that your child brings their reading diary and reading books to school every day.
