Year 2 2025 - 2026

Welcome to the Year 2 Class Page!

Class Teacher: Miss Klaassen
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Lawson

We are so excited to have you join us for a fun-filled year of learning, discovery, and growth. In Year 2, we will explore exciting topics, build new skills, and enjoy lots of hands-on activities. We can’t wait to share our journey with you - keep checking back to see what we’ve been up to!

Please check Class Dojo regularly for any important updates. If you need to get in touch with me, feel free to do so via Class Dojo or speak to me at the beginning or end of the school day.

This Term's Learning: 

This term, our school value is Respect, which we will be exploring and embedding throughout all areas of our learning.

In English, our writing will be inspired by The River by Marc Martin, as we develop our skills to write our own letters. In Maths, we are focusing on Place Value as well as Addition and Subtraction. Our Science lessons are all about materials, where we are identifying and describing the uses of everyday items. In RE, we are learning about Christianity and the important lessons found in some of the parables from the Bible. For DT, we are investigating freestanding structures and will be designing and making a bed for Mr Bear! In Geography, we are jumping aboard the “Southport to Liverpool Express” as we explore our local area and learn how to use maps. Alongside all of this, we will be enjoying engaging lessons in Computing, PSHE, French, and Music - including our ‘No Outsiders’ texts, which help us celebrate diversity and promote understanding. 

Important Information:

Reading:
We love to read in Year 2! We’ll spend lots of time reading together and independently - exploring a wide range of books.
Children are expected to read at least three times per week at home, with this recorded in their reading record by an adult.
Please ask your child questions about the book to check their understanding and build their comprehension skills.
Reading records will be checked, and books changed, on Wednesdays.

Spellings:
Your child will receive spellings to practise at home. Spellings will be given out each half term and displayed on our class page.
Children will be tested in school on Wednesdays.

PE:
Our PE day is Thursday with Neil. Please send your child to school wearing their PE kit.
Ensure that jewellery is removed and long hair is tied up. Children should wear trainers or pumps.
