In our English work, we develop our reading and writing skills through stories, drama, poetry and exciting, first- hand experiences. Enjoyment of reading and a love of books are encouraged through individual, guided and shared reading activities we encourage the children to read every day at home, too!
In Mathematics, we take 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.
The Lunar Curriculum includes History, Geography, Design Technology, Art and ICT and these subjects are taught through topics and key questions. We are currently working on our space topic.
The children also have weekly sessions of R.E., Music, Science and P.E.
In P.E the children will take part in athletics, dance and gymnastic activities. They will learn how to master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities. The children will participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending and perform dances using simple movement patterns.
PE Days:
Cherry Class: Monday
Olive Class: Monday
Maple Class: Friday
All children must come into school wearing their P.E kit on their P.E day.
The children must bring their reading book home every day and leave it in school on a Thursday. They will receive a new reading book and homework on Friday to be returned the following Thursday. Homework will include spellings, reading and either English or Maths homework.
A variety of clubs are available before and after school and this programme changes every half term.
At the beginning of each academic year, parents/carers are signposted to this website where class information is available on class pages which contain lots of useful information and prompts that they can use at home with their child.
If you have any questions about Year 2, please speak to a member of our staff.
