Welcome to Year 2
Year 2 is a special year group where children really begin to become more independent learners, taking on more responsibility towards their own learning. Children continue their learning journey and build on their knowledge and key skills from the early years and year 1.
In year 2, your child will 'grow their learning' from a curriculum that is carefully matched to their ability and own interests, through quality teaching, exciting trips and forest school. Children will have lots of other fantastic opportunities and experiences including skipping competitions, learning to play the Ukulele and representing our school in the Primary Engineering Programme Award.
By the time the children leave us in year 2, they will have reached their potential in key stage 1 and will feel well prepared to take a leap into key stage 2 ready for their next steps of success.

Home School Reading Books
Children will be given two reading books each week. It is expected that they will read at home at least three times a week and that an adult logs in on Boom Reader. Reading folders are to be brought into school each day to allow teaching staff to hear children read and to change books.
Water Bottles
Children need to bring a fresh water bottle into school each day.
P.E.
Both classes will have P.E on Tuesdays (Outdoor) and Thursdays (Indoor).
Children will come into school wearing their full P.E. kit on the days they have P.E. (Grey, navy or black jogging bottoms, black shorts, green Appletree t-shirt, hoodie and trainers.)

Our Curriculum
Quality of Education
At the heart of our curriculum is a drive to foster a love of reading, enriching children's learning through carefully designed vocabulary rich, teaching activities that utilise imaginative stories and thought provoking text.
Regular assessments inform the teaching of phonics, comprehension and fluency to ensure all children make good progress.
Our curriculum is both creative and ambitious. It has been carefully designed to give our children the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.
