Please also make sure that children bring a water bottle and their book bag (with their reading books and reading record) to school every day.

Please view our Curriculum Meeting 2024-2025 tab which has videos that share information about Year 2. This will include information on homework, assessment and daily routines.

This half-term our geography topic is “What is interesting about Nottinghamshire?"

Our science topic this half-term is habitats.

Please see at the bottom of this page our Autumn maths KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts). Key Instant Recall Facts are what underpins much of the mental maths knowledge that children are required to know throughout their learning journey. KIRFs are crucial for ensuring that a child is able to build confidence and fluency with a wide variety of mathematical topics. By being able to reference Key Instant Recall Facts on a regular basis, they’ll also find the national curriculum to be significantly more accessible.

Every week, our weekly timetable will be available at the bottom of this page.
