English
This half term, Year 2 will be reading Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty. This inspiring story follows Rosie, a young inventor who learns that mistakes are an important part of learning. Through the book, children will explore themes of resilience, creativity, and perseverance while developing their reading, writing, and discussion skills.
Phonics
In Year 2, children take part in Read Write Inc, a structured phonics programme that helps them become confident and fluent readers. Through daily lessons, pupils practice reading sounds, blending words and improving their spelling and writing skills. The programme builds speed, accuracy and comprehension, supporting children to develop a love of reading.
