Year 2

Welcome to Year 2!

Year 2 is a pivotal year in which children consolidate their learning and grow in confidence as independent learners, working towards the end of Key Stage 1 National Curriculum expectations.

In English, pupils build fluency and comprehension in reading, exploring a range of stories such as ‘Bog Baby’ and ‘The King who Banned the Dark’. The pupils develop stamina and accuracy in writing through the use of expanded noun phrases, varied sentence types and correct punctuation.

In mathematics, children deepen their understanding of place value to 100, strengthen their recall of addition and subtraction facts, and are introduced to multiplication and division, fractions, measurement, time and statistics.

In science, they investigate living things and their habitats, plants, materials and uses, and learn about animals, including humans, developing skills in questioning and observing. Through history and geography, pupils explore significant individuals and events, compare past and present, and extend their knowledge of the UK and the wider world.

Creative subjects such as art, DT and music encourage imagination and self-expression, while PE develops agility, balance and working as a team. Our Jigsaw PSHE lessons support emotional wellbeing, respect and responsibility, preparing children to move into Key Stage 2 as resilient, curious and capable learners.
