Welcome to YEAR 2
Across KS1, we pride ourselves on the quality and breadth of the curriculum. Our KS1 curriculum is designed to serve the needs of all pupils, using a variety of approaches and stimuli, including visits, visitors, theme days and engaging activities. We are committed to making learning enjoyable in a safe environment protected from harm.
In KS1, every pupil studies subjects prescribed by the National Curriculum, exploiting cross-curricular links where appropriate.
The teaching and support staff in Key Stage 1 are as follows;
- Mr Ford (Key Stage 1 Team leader and Year 2 Teacher)
- Mrs Craig / Miss Millard (Year 2 Teachers)
- Mrs Edon (Year 2 Teaching Assistant)
- Miss Barron (Year 1 Teacher)
- Mrs Lofts (Year 1 Teacher)
- Mrs Jones (Year 1 Teaching Assistant)
Subject Long Term Plans
PE:
The children will be doing P.E on the following days;
Mr Ford Y2F – Wednesday and Friday
Mrs Craig / Miss Millard Y2CM – Wednesday and Friday
On their PE lesson days, children will still be asked to come into school in their PE kits. Further details of uniform expectations can be found in our school prospectus.
Our Homework Expectations:
In Year 2 we give regular weekly homework. The homework will be tailored to your child’s individual learning needs and help them to progress towards their end of year objectives. Please read with your child every evening and comment in their reading record as this has an enormous impact on their progress across the entire curriculum.
Spelling words will be sent home each week. This will be on a sheet rather than in a book and does not need to be returned. We will have a spelling quiz every Friday.
A maths homework booklet will be sent home covering work for the term. This can be completed at your own pace and does not need to be returned.
We will send home a homework grid with a range of exciting topic activities to complete alongside the key skills tasks. Children are asked to complete one (or more if you wish!) activity over the term, to be handed in before the end of term and celebrated in class.
We are very much looking forward to working with your child and hope that he/she will enjoy their time in Year 2. We work best when there is an effective partnership with parents so, if you have any concerns, or wish to discuss an aspect of your child’s education, please do not hesitate to get in touch. If you wish to pass on a message, we have helpful staff on the entrance to Y2 every morning who will be happy to assist you.
