Year 2

 

 

Welcome!

Welcome to Year 2!

What an exciting and fun-filled learning journey your children will take in their final year in Key Stage 1. Being the eldest year group in Key Stage One, this is the year where children take on new responsibilities and complete their KS1 SATS. We use all of the wonderful learning from our Key Stage One journey, as well as the brilliant new learning we will be doing in Year Two, to really show everyone how fantastic and unique we all are. We still love to play and get really creative!

The children will learning an enquiry-based curriculum includind brilliant topics such as The Great Fire of London (along with a trip to Dorchester to learn all about the Great Fire of Dorchester!) and Explorers to name just a few. 

Learning is an adventure - and I will guide your child through this adventure all the way into the beginning of Key Stage 2, making memories and learning as we go!
