Welcome to Elk Class! We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning, discovery and new experiences in Year 2. Throughout the year, we will develop our confidence, independence and love of learning through a broad and engaging curriculum.

In Maths, we will explore place value, the four operations, shape, money, multiplication and division, fractions, time, statistics and measurement. In English, we will enjoy a range of exciting texts while developing our handwriting, grammar, sentence construction and writing stamina. Our Science topics will include materials, animals, habitats, microhabitats and plants.

Across our wider curriculum, we will explore schools in the past, British monarchs and the history of flight. In Geography, we will investigate the UK, different climates and what it is like to live near the coast. We will also enjoy creative projects in Art and Design Technology, including sculpture, map-making, levers and making our own Ferris wheels.

Reading is particularly important to us this year, and we look forward to working with families to support every child in becoming a confident and enthusiastic reader.

If you have any questions, you can contact me via the link below, at the end of the school day or through Dojo.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Mrs Jessop 😊
