Thornton Dale C of E Primary School

In Year Two we are enthusiastic learners who love to explore and experiment with new ideas. Learning is exciting and engaging and the use of real materials and real-life circumstances help children's understanding and encourage them to make links. 

We work alongside our peers in a variety of activities and are encouraged to share, discuss and disagree when talking about new ideas and concepts. We know how to justify and reason with our own ideas as well as listen to the ideas of others.

Our fantastic collaborative skills help us in all aspects of our learning.

In English, we develop on the skills that are embedded in Year One and encourage the children to  write at a greater length, incorporating both new and previously learnt skills through different genres.

In maths, all children access a self-led challenge approach. This allows our children to take control and become leaders in their own learning. We actively encourage children to push themselves and be the best that they can be.
