English 
 
 

This term in English, we will be reading The King Who Banned the Dark.

It is about a young prince who is scared of the dark. When he becomes king, he makes a rule that darkness is not allowed, so the sun always shines.

At first, this seems like a good idea, but soon everyone becomes tired because they cannot sleep. The people help the king understand that darkness is important.

In the end, the king learns to be brave and accepts that both light and dark are needed.

 

 

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.
