Year 2
Read on to find out more about Year 2…
As the children move into Year 2 and the final year of Key Stage 1, we build on the amazing work carried out in Reception and Year 1 and continue to work really hard to increase the children’s independence. Our expectations for behaviour and learning are consistent across the year group and we continue to build strong partnerships between home and school. Our curriculum allows for thematic teaching and learning as well as discrete subject teaching and learning. Each day we have Maths, English and Phonics lessons as well as a variety of other curriculum areas during the week. We love to have theme days, where we are able to spend the whole day focusing on one area e.g. DT. We welcome visitors into school and enjoy visits out of school. All of these learning experiences allow the children to, build up and build on, their knowledge and skills over time. The Year 2 staff team work closely together to plan exciting learning experiences for the children and strive for the very best progress and outcomes for all of our children.
We like to integrate lots of wellbeing activities into our day, including time for a Go Noodle, time to be calm and mindful, and time to think carefully about how to have a healthy body and a healthy mind. We build skills such as independently editing and reviewing our own learning and thinking more about our next steps in learning. We encourage regular reading at home.
We look forward to working together with you during the year and sharing all of the amazing progress that the children make. Remember to keep reading as often as you can!
