Year 2

Year 2 Curriculum Project

Our curriculum is 'Under Construction' as we make some tweaks ahead of the Primary Curriculum review due in Spring 2027. Please check back soon to see the updated Long Term Plan for 2026-2027.

Year 2 Key Information

For this term, PE is timetabled for every Tuesday and Thursday. We will be doing lacrosse on Tuesdays and athletics on Thursdays. Please ensure that all earrings are removed on those days and that your child has their full PE kit in school. Please make sure that your child has a colder weather PE kit in school, including spare socks and trainers.

English  

w/c 28.9.26

We will:

  • edit my character description 
  • complete a neat write
  • write a prediction about our new topic
  • identify nouns 
  • compile adjectives to describe the nouns

Reading - 

Please note: Some of the children have been assessed as ready to choose books from the corridor library. These books may appear very easy for them to read - this is brilliant news. The purpose of the corridor library books is to enable them to read so fluently that they absorb all the information to be able to answer tricky comprehension questions in a quiz about that book.

Remember that they do not need to read the entire book in one day. 

Spelling:

This week we are continuing to review Phase 5 to make sure that we can remember which graphemes make which phonemes.

Phoneme/grapheme list:

Phoneme  /ch/ as the graphemes:

ch, tch and ture

adventure creature
feature nature
chance chapter much
charge ketchup catch
kitchen pitch match
