Year 2

Year 2 is an exciting year when your child will learn how to become more  independent whilst having plenty of fun! In year two, we strive for excellence and encourage children to be ambitious and successful learners. Throughout the year, your child will further develop their skills in reading, writing and maths. They will study different topics, including their local area, Africa and the seaside. 

At Elms Farm, we recognise that year 2 is an important year as the children complete non-statutory assessments before they move into KS2. 

In year 2, the children will be expected to read at home every evening and practise weekly spellings. This is important as it consolidates the skills that they have learnt in school.

The children are excited to explore our new topic about the seaside during this summer term. They are learning about the five oceans and both the human and physical features that make the coastline so unique and fascinating. 

What are we learning? 

Wider curriculum topic: Why do we visit the seaside?

English text: Jack and the Beanstalk

Maths focus: Telling the time

Spelling: Set weekly through Class Dojo

Reading: Daily reading books
