Year 2

Welcome to Year 2! This year children will really begin to reap the rewards of the solid foundations created in EYFS and Year 1. Children will become much more independent in their learning and will acquire many new strategies that will support them as they make the transition into KS2. Our creative and engaging curriculum will hook children in and lead them on a journey of new knowledge, fun and academic progress!

Curriculum overview:

We will kick off year 2 by going back in time to explore our local legend; James Cook. We will immerse ourselves as explorers through studying artefacts and even visiting a real-life ship, similar to the Endeavour itself.

Next, we will patrol the streets of Acklam as Street Detectives. Through this topic, we will develop our geographical skills and deepen our knowledge of Acklam’s historical roots.

In Spring, we will be getting messy! As we learn about George’s evil Grandma, we will he be helping him to concoct a recipe for a marvellous medicine!

Get ready to be inspired by some of the most significant people as we dive in to ‘Little People, Big Dreams.’ Throughout this topic, we will explore significant changes to society and the people that made these changes happen!
