Year 2

Welcome to Year 2 at Chilwell Croft Academy, where the children take more responsibility for their own learning.  

Our curriculum is exciting, engaging and inclusive and provides opportunities for all children to become successful, educated individuals building on skills taught in Year 1. 

At the start of the school day the children access RWInc. phonics sessions or are part of a structured reading comprehension group.  

Maths and English lessons are also taught daily and as well as this the children accessing weekly Science, Life Education, Geography, History, Art and Modern Foreign Languages (Spanish) lessons.  

PE lessons are fortnightly, Design Technology projects are included and weekly singing assemblies are enjoyed. 

We also have structured RE and Computing weeks where the children engage with these subject areas every afternoon for a whole designated week.  

We like to make our learning journey as fun and engaging as possible and use resources such as Now > Press > Play to introduce new topics to the children.  

Throughout the year we will involve our parents and carers within their children’s education as much as possible.  

Preparation for moving into Year 3 is key and we will ensure that the skills of independence and perseverance are developed as part of a broad and balanced curriculum.
