Autumn Term message from Miss Grove:
A Warm Welcome to Year 2!
Hello and a big welcome back after the summer holidays! I hope you all had a wonderful rest and are ready for an exciting Autumn Term in Year 2.
This term, Year 2 have some fascinating topics ahead of them. In History, we’ll be learning out about significant people from the past and how they have shaped the world we live in today. In Science, we’ll begin by exploring Habitats and the amazing places where animals live.
Reading is a really important part of Year 2 and central to children’s learning. We’ll continue to build on the skills developed in Year 1 and enjoy a wide variety of books together.
In Maths, we’ll focus on Place Value, and practice number facts daily. Our English lessons will take us on exciting adventures with two fantastic texts: Wolves and Jim and the Beanstalk.
You’ll also find our Knowledge Organisers linked below. These give an overview of the key learning for this term in subjects including History, Science, Art, RE and PE.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—I’m always happy to help.
Here’s to a brilliant year of learning, exploring and growing together in Year 2!
Thank you for your support,
Miss Grove

Olympics Week
Posted: Jun 29, 2024 by: year2 teacher (K.Warburton) on: Year 2 Blog
Wow! What an amazing time we have had at school this week celebrating the upcoming Paris Summer Games 2024. Year 2 have learned so much about the Olympics and Paralympics and have had the chance to try out lots of new sports including Handball, Archery, Golf and Javelin. We even had a visit from GB Champion, Ray Banigo, who is a long jumper and athlete. Did you know, he can jump a distance of over 8 metres! The children had a brilliant time with him, learning javelin, relay and even raced him around our track on the school field! Year 2 also enjoyed learning about how the Olympics have changed since the Games began in Greece, plotting the countries involved and making their own Olympic torches. We were also lucky enough to hold an actual Olympic Torch, wow! Thank you to all the children in Year 2, as they all showed great enthusiasm and perseverance this week. Well done!
