Year 2 2026 - 2027
Miss Hamilton
Welcome to Year 2
My name is Miss Hamilton and I am the Year 2 class teacher. Mrs Harper is our teaching assisstant.
We also have the opportunity to go on a one night residential to Fox Howl where we have the chance to explore the forest, make dens, sing songs around the camp fire and experience learning outdoors in a fantastic environment.
English and Maths
In Year 2, we enjoy English and Maths every day, helping children to build confidence and develop key skills that will support them throughout their learning journey.
In English, we share and explore a wide range of exciting stories, interesting non-fiction texts and inspiring poems. We encourage a love of reading and writing through fun and engaging activities that spark children's imagination and creativity. Throughout the year, we develop our spelling, grammar and handwriting skills, working towards joined handwriting as children become more confident writers. Reading is a very important part of our day, and children take part in Guided Reading sessions three times a week, as well as having regular opportunities to read individually with an adult.
In Maths, we build on the knowledge and skills learned in Year 1, helping children to become fluent and confident mathematicians. Through practical activities, games, investigations and real-life problem solving, children learn to apply their skills in different contexts. We encourage them to explain their thinking, explore different strategies and develop resilience when faced with new challenges.
Afternoon Learning
Our afternoons are filled with exciting opportunities to explore, discover and create. Children enjoy a rich and varied curriculum, learning about the world around them through Science, History and Geography, while developing important digital skills in Computing.
Through RE and PSHE, children learn about different beliefs, values and relationships, helping them to become thoughtful, respectful and caring members of our school community. Creativity shines through in Art, Design Technology and Music, where children can experiment, design, make and express themselves in different ways.
PE lessons provide opportunities to stay active, develop teamwork skills and build confidence, all while having fun. Whatever the subject, we aim to inspire curiosity, encourage independence and celebrate every child's achievements. There is always something exciting happening in Year 2, and we love sharing our learning journey together.
