Year Two

Amethyst is our Year Two class. Our whole curriculum has been redeveloped in previous academic years and the children benefit from both geography and history planning that is finely tailored to make it relevant to the local area as well as national and global views. As children enter Year Two, they still enjoy learning through the Floppy's Phonics system, which is our vehicle for teaching reading and early spelling. As the academic year progresses, they move onto guided reading and comprehension and further spelling work using The Spelling Shed.

Writing is now taught using 'Ready Steady Write' from Literacy Counts; this scheme uses good quality texts and expands children's experiences and knowledge through a range of genre. As we work through the year, new and adapted units of work also feed into our wider 'topics' where appropriate.

Our dedicated Key Stage One Playground gives children in Years One and Two physical opportunities at break and lunchtimes and is also used, along with the school field, to enhance learning opportunities on-site.

Throughout the academic year we hold parent and carer events. This is so that you can find out about how we teach some of our curriculum content, and also so that you can enjoy some activities with your child in their school setting. Check out the school events calendar to find out more details.
