Welcome to Year 2
2023-24
Welcome to Year 2! I am so excited to be working with our new to Year 2 children this year. There will be myself, Miss Ward (class teacher) and Mrs Firth who supports in Bumblebees class.
We have got an action-packed year planned ahead! Please see below about the exciting learning taking place in Year 2.
To parents and careers,
As it is getting towards the end of Year 2, we would usually start preparations for SATs. Although SATs is not mandatory from 2024, the trust has decided to still go ahead with them but in a less formal environment. We would like to keep you informed about any changes and wish to keep it low-key for the children to allow less pressure and stress. They will be completed to see their progress and will not be sent off to be checked. If you have any questions, please speak to me.
Miss Ward

Maths
We are now looking at fractions. Please have a look at the vocabulary, models and images below to support your child with their maths learning.
We also have access to an amazing website where you can access different units we look at in Maths. They link directly to White Rose Maths, the scheme we follow.

In English, we will be reading The Baker's Boy and the Great Fire of London. This links nicely with our topic.
