Year 2

Welcome to Year 2!
We’re so excited to share this important year of your child’s learning journey with you. Year 2 is full of curiosity, independence, and discovery, and we’ll be working closely together to support your child’s growth both in and out of the classroom.

📚 What We’re Learning This Year

Throughout Year 2, your child will explore a wide range of subjects designed to build confidence and skills:

• English: Developing reading fluency, comprehension, and writing skills through stories, poetry, and non-fiction texts.
• Maths: Building a strong foundation in number, place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and problem-solving.
• Science: Investigating the world around us through topics like plants, animals, materials, and seasonal changes.
• History & Geography: Learning about important people and events, exploring maps, and understanding the local and wider world.
• Art & Design Technology: Encouraging creativity through painting, drawing, model making, and practical projects.
• PE: Developing movement, teamwork, and healthy habits.
• PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic education): Building friendships, resilience, and a sense of responsibility.

This page will give you information and reminders about our class including our newsletter, links to our twitter feed as well as some useful links to develop our learning further.

Homework

We ask all children to read each night for 10 minutes and to record this in their reading diaries. Children are welcome to change their reading books as often as they wish. Please can parents/carers sign the reading diary each week.

Optional homework is set each Tuesday.  Homework activities should be completed in the green homework books and handed into school by the following Monday.

Important Dates

There is always lots going on at Elmridge, so please read Mr Nicholls’ weekly newsletters and ensure you are checking your child’s bag for any letters!
