Our Curriculum

English

In our English lessons we follow the CLPE approach (Centre for Literacy in Primary Education).  This approach is book based and builds its planning around quality children's literature (please see the English page for more info). 

Reading in Year 2

In year 2, the children do whole class guided reading lessons following John Murray's Reading Explorers. The children read a wide variety of genres to develop their vocabulary, improve their understanding and teach them the skills they need to interpret texts.

Home Reading 

The children's home reading books all follow the Letters and Sounds Phonics Programme. They will also take home their own reading for pleasure book from the library each week. 

Maths

In year 2, our lessons are planned using White Rose and Power Maths. Our lessons focus on mathematical reasoning and fluency. In our lessons, we use lots of concrete and pictorial resources to embed the children's understanding of concepts and then we go onto applying these to abstract questions (please see the Maths page for more information). 

Home Learning for Maths 

The children can practice their 99 Club sheets they bring home once a week. They can also use their Reading Eggs login to access Mathseeds too. 

Topic

In year 2, we follow Cornerstones. Cornerstones provides exciting plans which include the non-core subjects (Geography, History, Science, DT and Art). 

We cover one project each term ensuring excellent coverage and progression. 

Autumn Term - Movers & Shakers

Spring Term - Coastline

Summer Term - Magnificent Monarchs

How can you support your children at home?

Reading: You should read with your child at least 5 times a week at home. This can include their home reading book,  Reading Eggs and their reading for pleasure books from the library. 

Spellings: New spellings are sent out on a Monday and tested on a Friday. These can be practised using the Look, Cover, Write, Check method or from using the printed sheets that are sent home.

99 Club: Your children will be tested on the ’99 club’ (addition and subtraction questions) on a Wednesday you can help them by practising any questions they get incorrect with them for the following week (these will be sent home). 

TT Rockstars: This will be used in the Summer Term.

Topic homework: There is a topic homework sheet attached linked to our topic of the term. We would like the children to choose at least one activity to do and bring in to share with the class.
