Year Two

Thank you for visiting the Year 2 page here at Stanton Cross Primary. 2024/25 is the first academic year where we will have pupils in Year 2. 

During Year 2, we work hard to become independent learners with a love of learning.  The children will continue to progress in their learning, building on the skills and knowledge that they have learnt in Year 1.  They will develop problem solving skills;, learn to work cooperatively in pairs and small groups; and try their best in everything they do!  As part of being independent learners, children have the opportunity to be a variety of monitors within the classroom.   Each Wednesday, children will be given weekly homework and spellings to complete at home, which will be due back the following Monday.   Those children who need ongoing support in their phonics understanding (and may not have passed the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check) will continue to receive daily phonics sessions.   At the end of the year, our children will complete non-statutory assessments.

We spend Friday afternoons doing PE and children should come to school in their PE kit on Fridays. PE kits must consists of a white t-shirt, blue shorts or jogging bottoms and suitable footwear such as trainers or plimsolls. They will need to ensure they are not wearing earrings and that long hair is tied up on the designated PE days. This is an important part of our school curriculum and we encourage all children to take part.
