Penny Bridge CE Academy

Y2 (Swaledales)

At this age, children are so eager to learn new things and share any experiences that they have had. This is encouraged and is a very enjoyable part of teaching this age group. The topics that we cover in Year 2 are taught in many different ways that give each individual child the chance to share. We provide a challenging but supportive curriculum drawing from our learning journeys to build skills and independence.

Reading is a priority in the Swaledales therefore we aim to hear the children read three times a week and use Read Write Inc. to support the children's decoding and comprehension skills. RWI writing sessions link writing tasks to the books they are reading. RWI books will be sent home weekly for you to support your child's confidence in reading fluently. We feel it is very important for the children to have a caring and sharing attitude towards each other and encourage polite and well-mannered behaviour.
