Welcome to Year Two.

In Year One we use a whole class approach to learning. We have daily English, Maths and Guided Reading sessions. The National Curriculum is taught through specific lessons including RE, Learning for Life, Science, Computing, History, Geography, Art and DT.

We use the local field and woodland to enhance our learning, particularly in Science and Geography.

Spelling is taught using the Essential Letters and Sounds Scheme.

Reading books are matched to children’s phonics knowledge initially. They then move on to banded books. Children area assessed using benchmarking to ensure both decoding and comprehension skills are well developed. Children bring home reading books matched to these assessments to read at home.
