Year 2

Nick Sharratt Class

Welcome to our class page! This page will give you lots of information about what we are currently learning in Year 2.

Class Teacher: Mrs A Graham

Teaching Assistant: Miss S Chittim

Our current mini-mission is...

Round the World with the Three Bears

Throughout this topic, we will be building on our current geographical understanding. Not only will we be exploring the world's continents, countries and oceans, we will also be identifying the four countries which make up the United Kingdom. We will use this information to help us create our own maps and write recounts of the bears' trips.

Launch

Although we are not at school at the moment, the three bears had received something in the post. They couldn't wait to share it with us!

Phonics

At Five Spires we follow the Read Write Inc. phonics programme.

Every day the children receive dynamic and systematic teaching adapted to their current attainment.

Once we have completed our phonics journey, we then focus on developing our ability to summarise, infer and retrieve information quickly by using a range of fiction and non-fiction texts.

You can find out more information about the programme as well as access free ebooks on the Oxford Owl website.

Maths

At Five Spires we follow the White Rose Schemes of Learning. We believe that all children can make strong, secure and real progress, no matter their starting points. The small steps within each unit support this. Our progression can be found on the White Rose Maths website.
