Year 2 2026 - 2027

Welcome to Year 2!

We are so excited to welcome the Year 2 children back to school for a very exciting Autumn Term. 

We will be diving straight into our new learning by asking the children, ‘What makes a community?’ Through this inquiry, the children will be exploring our local area and understanding why it is special, learning about the Great Fire of London and the impact it had on Britain and finding out how communities are built within Christianity and Humanism religions. 

Our Autumn writing will firstly focus around the text Beegu by Alexis Deacon and be followed by a deeper look into The Great Fire of London by Emma Adams and A River by Marc Martin. 

Year 2, like any other, is such a crucial year for your children and you will be so proud of their growth and development. We will have PE lessons on Tuesdays and Thursdays so children will need to come into school in their full PE kit.

Your child will bring a reading book home each week which matches their phonetic ability and will also bring a Reading for Pleasure book home. Please read both with your child and their reading book each night if possible.

Please find us on the door each morning and evening or send a message on ClassDojo if you have any questions or concerns.

We can’t wait to get to know the children even more and to give them meaningful learning experiences through fun-filled days which they will remember forever.

Mrs Whittaker and Miss Proudlove
