A very warm welcome to Year 2 and our team, myself - Miss Millington, and Mrs Cox, our fabulous Teaching Assistant.

Spring Term 1

The children have made a flying start to Year 2, and the autumn term went by in a flash! It has been a pleasure getting to know them and seeing how enthusiastically they have embraced the exciting learning opportunities that Year 2 brings. The spring term is always a favourite, as it allows us to enjoy even more outdoor learning experiences.

To begin our literacy learning this term, the children will explore Billy and the Minpins by Roald Dahl, illustrated by Quentin Blake. They will search the school grounds for creatures to inspire their own character descriptions, using rich vocabulary and imaginative detail.

In maths, we will start with our unit on money before moving on to multiplication and division. Alongside this, we will continue to secure and develop our understanding of the 2, 5, and 10 times tables.

In history, our topic is Explorers. The children will use a range of sources to investigate why explorers are important and how significant individuals have helped to shape the world we live in today. This links closely with our geography unit on continents and oceans, where the children will learn to name and locate the seven continents and five oceans.

Reading remains a crucial part of the Year 2 curriculum. Children will take part in daily reading through RWI phonics, guided reading sessions, and English lessons. We also encourage all children to read at home every day. Regular reading supports fluency and builds comprehension, which is essential for success across the whole curriculum.
