--- title: "Year 2" url: "https://bishopaldhelms.poole.sch.uk/our-curriculum/year-groups/year-2" school: "Bishop Aldhelm's CE Primary School and Pre School" --- # Year 2 ## Year 2 ### Welcome to Year 2! Welcome to Year 2, an important and exciting step in your child’s learning journey. Building on the skills and confidence developed in Year 1, children in Year 2 deepen their understanding across the curriculum while becoming more independent and resilient learners. Lessons are more structured, with increased opportunities to apply reading, writing and mathematical skills in a range of meaningful contexts. Through a balance of challenge, creativity and support, we encourage children to think critically, ask questions and take pride in their achievements, helping them to feel confident and well prepared for the transition into Key Stage 2. #### Teaching staff - Year 2 2HI Miss Ingram - Year 2 2KW Mrs Walsh - Year 2 2RH Miss Hardwick #### Teaching Assistants - Miss Blake - Miss White - Miss Simpson - Miss Edworthy In this section we have uploaded documents which give you further information about our curriculum coverage in school, which will help you with supporting your child’s learning. ### Knowledge Organisers In the download list below you will see links to our Knowledge Organisers. Some of these are for the whole year (PE, RE and the safety curriculums). The others will show the term that they are covered. You can use the Knowledge Organisers to help your child learn the key vocabulary and knowledge points that they need to remember. ### Helpful documents The following link provides more information on Letters and Sounds. During this half term, the year 2 children will be taking the phonic screen check which they were due to take in the summer term of year 1.
