Your child should have taken home their homework book and an exercise book in which to complete the daily learning tasks. If your child has not received these, then please contact the school to arrange a means of collecting them.
At the bottom of this page, you will also find a 'Home Learning' pack containing a large number of reading, writing and maths activities, as well as a 'Practical Learning' pack with additional ideas of ways in which the children can learn. Please encourage your child to engage in these tasks for a focused period every day.
Key Information
In Year 2, children’s learning in Key Stage One comes together as pupils develop into independent learners. By the end of the year, pupils are able to read, write and answer mathematical problems with greater fluency.
Year 2’s topics are London, Rainforests and Heroes and Heroines. We explore these topics through History and Geography enquiries; non-fiction written work and art projects. Recent trips have included a boat ride on the River Thames and a trip to London Zoo! In Science, pupils build upon their previous knowledge to carry out simple investigations and to work together to ask and answer questions.
In the Summer term, pupils have the opportunity to go on a mini school journey, where they stay overnight at Rippledown House. This is a fabulous time for everyone involved as the children experience different activities and are able to develop their independence.
