Year 2 Autumn 2 Read Alouds...

We love reading in Year Two.  Here are just a few of the books we will be enjoying in Year Two this term:

Key Information for the Autumn Term:

PE: Year Two have PE this term on Tuesday and Wednesday. Children should come ready dressed in their PE kit on these days. 

Forest School: Year Two have Forest School on Wednesday afternoons during the first half of the Autumn term.  Please refer to the kit list emailed home.

Ordering Lunch: Where possible, please order school lunches at home via School Gateway. We are starting to encourage children inYear Two to be more independent.  Therefore, it is really useful for the children to know what has been ordered for them before they come into school.

Water: Children are encouraged to bring in a bottle of water each day which they can access at any time.  Please ensure bottles are named.  

Snack: Children are encouraged to bring in a healthy snack for our morning playtimes or children may choose to order a snack from the kitchen. If you would like to send in your own snack then please make sure it is healthy. Wherever possible, please avoid chocolate, crisps or sweets please. We are a nut free school. KS1 children are provided with a piece of fruit at afternoon playtime.

Autumn Term 2024

 Please read our Year Two Autumn Term Curriulum Overview

For the first half of the Autumn term we will be reading The Troll by Julia Donaldson and The Three Billy Goats Gruff by Mara Alperin during our reading sessions. In English we will be focusing on the text 'Look Up' by Nathan Bryan.  This is a book that has been inspired by the astronaut Mae Jemison.  .

For the second half of the Autumn term we will be exploring a non-fiction text called Above and Below.  This is sure to inspire some of the nature lovers in our Year Two class

In English we will be reading the tale of The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson.  We will look forward to reading this book that was first published in 1968.  A great exploration into how we can overcome our fears.
