Kingfisher, Robin and Woodpecker Classes
The Year 2 Topics
Our curriculum is taught through three main topics (one per term) and cross-curricular links are utilised wherever possible. We follow the National Curriculum, full details of which can be found HERE.
All Year 2 children receive Spanish and music lessons once a fortnight, taught by specialist teachers and the children also receive 2 hours of PE each week. Class trips are often organised to enhance a topic and support the learning taking place at school.
