Overview
In Year 2 there are three classes. The pupils start their day with Phonics sessions taught using the Read Write Inc Phonics programme. Children who have completed the Phonics programme move on to reading comprehension sessions where they focus on developing key skills such as retrieval and inference. The rest of their morning will include a Writing lesson, which is based on a key text for each unit and a Maths lesson taught using the White Rose maths scheme. The wider curriculum subjects are taught in the afternoons either discretely or through a whole school creative and connective approach.
To see more of the learning and activities we do in Year 2, see our Year 2 blog below.
