Key Information
Hello and welcome to Year 2 where we love to learn and have fun doing it.
Phonics is still part of our learning especially in the early stages of the year. However, as the year moves on we learn how to apply rules and patterns into spelling. We use the Little Wandle - Bridge to Spelling, to support the children to make connections between their phonological knowledge and the rules associated with spelling. Each day, we have a short session on spelling and follow the same rule for five sessions.
Our writing journeys use rich texts to bring characters to life and promote an inquisitive love for reading. Where possible, we make connections with our wider curriculum learning to help the children connect ideas together. Throughout the year, we produce a wide range of texts including poetry, information texts, recipes, stories and diaries.
In maths, we build on our number knowledge from previous years and apply them in a wider range of contexts. We complete reasoning problems using our knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division as well as extending our knowledge of measures and fractions.
Just like in Year 2, we focus on our wider curriculum learning during the afternoons. This includes History, Geography, Art, Science, PE, DT and much more. Head over to our curriculum page for more information on our wider curriculum learning.

How can I help at home?
Reading continues to be very important. At this stage in their learning journey, little and often is key. The children are matched to the correct phonics book which is right for them and a Library book that they chose. Practicing their sounds on a regular basis with a familiar text will support them to build the foundations in which to become a life long reader.
