Year 2
Welcome to Year 2! In Year 2 this year, the class teachers will be Mr Stone, Miss Fulford, Miss Stagg and the PPA teachers will be Miss Clarkson, Miss James and Miss Jackson. We will be supported by our wonderful teaching assistants.
We are going to spend the year becoming masters of Maths as we follow the Mastery program to think deeper about how numbers have relationships in order to add, subtract, multiply and divide. We will look at telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes and explore the properties of 2D and 3D shapes. When writing for different purposes in English lessons, we will look closely at choosing words to create an effect and add plenty of detail through interesting adjectives, verbs and conjunctions. While reading a range of books, children will develop their prosody by thinking about how words and phrases can be said with feeling and expression. We will use interesting texts to develop skills of retrieval and inference by finding clues to answer challenging questions.


In Year 2, children will have the opportunity to read, amongst other high-quality books, one of Miss Stagg’s personal favourites, The Day the Crayons Quit. Mr Stone is particularly looking forward to exploring the topic of Kings Heath Now and Then during our history lessons and Miss Fulford can’t wait to get stuck into the Sport's Day organisation.
We cannot wait to go on this learning journey with all the Year 2 children to experience all of this and much more.
