Year 2 sees the beginning of children starting the reading scheme, Accelerated Reader. Children are encouraged to read at home and then complete the quiz related to the book in school. We ask that parents listen to their child read and then encourage their child to discuss the contents of the book. We also start to encourage joined-up handwriting and teach the children how to do this. Some children might find this challenging, but with resilience and encouragement, the children will find it easier. Extra practise at home in this area would be beneficial to the children - teachers will send home guidance to parents.

Humanities is an exciting part of our curriculum where, children enjoy learning about a range of topics throughout the year. They love completing project passports linked to their topics in humanities at home with their family and are encouraged to share their work with senior leaders across the school. It is important that children are able to transfer the skills that they learn in other areas of the curriculum and are given plenty of opportunity to do this through their writing in humanities.
