Catch the Spirit

Year 2 - Chestnut Class

Welcome to our Year 2 page. Here you will find all the information you need, in order to help your make child progress, by supporting the learning that goes on in class and also giving you a window into what they are doing through the year.

 

English

We are often asked whether there are any books which we can recommend for pupils. The website: https://schoolreadinglist.co.uk shows lots of good choices for individual year groups. We are using the 'Pathways' teaching approach from The Literacy Company, which provides a scaffold for children to base their own writing. It also ensures that they are exposed to a range of quality texts as they make they way through school.
