Our children begin to develop collaborative discussion skills by engaging with high quality texts and they are provided with a variety of opportunities to practise and apply their reading and writing skills. These well-established skills are displayed when completing the phonics screening check at the end of the year.
Year 2 is a stimulating year with lots of positive challenges for the children.
In Year 2 our children start to become more independent learners; continuing to develop their skills in reading, writing and maths through collaboration, discussion and structured activities. As Year 2 progresses, our children work towards preparing themselves to showcase their very best in the end-of-year statutory assessments (SATs). We use a topic-based approach to learning which, allows all to become immersed in learning.
In maths we follow the White Rose scheme. This has been carefully planned to develop and deepen maths fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills.
In Years 3, the children are supported appropriately to enable them to grow in maturity and are encouraged to take on the role of kind, integral members of our school community. Children are given the opportunity to show more responsibility for their learning and organisation and are provided with a range of opportunities to challenge themselves.
Year 1 Fox class have been busy this week, we have made an ariel map of our classroom for Geography, we started our science topic of seasons and we have started to learn how to play tennis in PE! Today we practiced sending and receiving a ball to each other.
Yesterday, Year 2 enjoyed our first outdoor PE lesson, followed by a story under the new shelter on the KS1 playground!
