St Hugh's CofE Primary School

Welcome to Year 2! 

Our class teacher is Ms Razaq and our teaching assistant is Miss Thornton. 

In Year 2 we aim to provide children with an exciting curriculum which covers a range of stimulating topics, skills and experiences. Children have the opportunity to learn from first hand experiences and from researching using books and ICT.  Children are encouraged to become independent learners but will also have the opportunity to work in pairs, small groups and as a class.  

In our writing lessons we will be following The Write Stuff approach and produce independent work based on a variety of different texts. We will cover fiction and non-fiction texts as well as poetry. 

In maths, we will be using White Rose Maths alongside manipulatives to develop our mathematical skills. 

RE, Computing and PSHE will be taught weekly. Our foundation subjects will be taught in blocks throughout the year – please see the curriculum overview for more information.  

This year: 

• PE will take place on a Monday 

• Spellings will be tested on a Friday  

• Homework sent out on a Friday 

Reading 

We read every day in our daily Phonics and fluency lessons. Children will be given ample opportunity to read every day and we aim to listen to each child read 1:1 at least once a week. Therefore, please ensure reading books and record are sent into school every day. 

Your child will have their reading book changed at least once a week. At this age, the value of listening to your child read at home is invaluable. Please sign your child’s reading diary each day you have listened to them read.
