Welcome to Year Two!

Summer Term 2025

Hi Everyone!

In our class we have myself, Miss Pells and I teach the children on a Monday - Thursday. We also have Mrs Flatt, our classroom LSA and she teaches the children on a Friday when I'm not in school. Alongside us, we also have some more lovely LSAs to help with the children's learning: Mrs Ellmer, Mrs Sitton, Mrs Davis, Miss Clarke and Miss Cooper.

PE

In addition to this, we are super lucky to have our PE taught by Mr Boulton this year.

Our PE Days are: Tuesday & Thursday

Spellings: The children are given individual spellings to learn on a Monday and these should be practised at home throughout the week. The children will then have a quick quiz to see if they can remember them the following Monday. 

Wordwalls: The children will come home with new sight words that they should learn to read. These are the words that they need to just know without sounding out. Please help them to practise these and give them a little tick if they remember what it says without any help. 

Reading: Reading is super important and we like the children to read at home at least three times a week - if they do, they get a treat from our super exciting 'dippy bag'. 

Our Summer Term Topic

Welcome to my most favourite term! As well as spending lots of time in the sunshine…

Our Topic this term will be

‘Take a Walk on the Wild Side…’

In Geography we will be learning all about Africa as a continent and focusing closely on the country of Zambia. We will learn all about the physical and human features of the country as well as learning about the people and animals.

In History, we will be learning about famous black people through time. These will include: Mary Seacole, Rosa Parks, Ruby Bridges, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela.

Our Science Topic will be learning about Living Things and their Habitats! We will learn about lots of different habitats and the animals that live in them. We have a special beach school activity planned looking at sea habitats and creatures as well as hopefully having a school trip looking at woodland and pond habitats.

Take a look below at our curriculum map to find out what other lovely things we will be doing!
