Welcome to Year 2

The teachers in Y1 & Y2 are Mrs Dixon, Mrs Murray-Kast & Mrs Tapner. Our teaching assistants are Mrs Brown, Mrs Moore, Mrs Kibirige, Miss Mackay and Miss Chapman.
In year 1 & 2 we study exciting topics which we enjoy learning in a cross-curricular way using visits and special days to enhance our learning. You might find us exploring the school grounds for natural objects, practising our phonics and spelling patterns, making healthy food, playing instruments and learning new gymnastic and dance routines.
We follow a rolling program as part of a mixed year group and you can find our curriculum here. More detailed knowledge is available on our subject pages as we feel this shows you how knowledge is expanded upon as the children move through school and how skills are progressed from one phase to another.

You can support from home by reading with your child three times or more per week and practising weekly spelling lists. These are sent home every half term and are matched to your child’s phonics ability.

We always aim to provide a caring and supportive environment that encourages all children to achieve. We are very much looking forward to an enjoyable year!
– Mrs Dixon, Mrs Murray-Kast & Mrs Tapner

Our broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum has been carefully created and sequenced as a result of whole school curriculum planning meetings. A general overview, long term plan, is available for your perusal on this page. The long-term planning grid will tell you what topics are being covered in each of the subject areas throughout the year. Should you wish to gain a deeper insight into what these topics contain, information is available on all our subject pages that will inform you further about what skills and knowledge they will gather as they proceed. You can also access more general day to day information about year 1 and 2 by clicking on the attachments on this page.
