Welcome to Year 2! I am really excited to get started on our interesting topics where we will learn lots of exciting things.

We will be reading lots of books and using those books to help us write letters and diaries. In maths, we will be learning to understand place value in numbers up to 100, and developing our addition and subtraction strategies.

Please see our curriculum overview to find out more about our wider curriculum. We will be learning about the uses of every day materials in science, life in World War I in history, textiles in DT, drawing in art and comparisons between Macclesfield and Kampong Ayer in Geography.

PE days will be Thursday and Friday every week. Please send your child in their PE kits on these days and ensure they have a water bottle.

Forest School sessions will be on Wednesday. Please keep an eye on the weather and ensure your child has appropriate clothing / footwear.

Please read at home daily using the decodable books matched to your child’s learning during their phonics sessions. Their reading books should be in school every day in their bags.

Homework will be sent home on Fridays and be due the following Thursday.
