Reading age appropriate text:
Enjoyment of reading Read with fluency and expression –
re-reading
Discuss the meaning of new words and
sound out unfamiliar words confidently
Check that what has been read makes
sense and self correct reading where necessary
Making inferences using evidence in the
text
Make predictions about what might
happen next in a story
Making links between different books
Focus on writing that is accurate and coherent.
Develop stamina for writing in different contexts/genres Write coherently and effectively – structure, grammar and vocabulary choices Accurate punctuation - full stops, question marks, exclamation marks and
commas in lists
Accurate spelling – using phonics, spelling patterns and common exception
words
Form letters correctly and begin to use joins between letters Write longer sentences using coordinating and subordinating conjunctions,
such as ‘and’,’ but’, ‘if’ or ‘because’
Use the present and past tenses correctly in writing Proof-read and edit their own writing
Year 2 focus on suffixes and spelling patterns plus lots of common exception words. Practice, practice, practice!
Repetition is very effective! It is DEFINITELY OK to spend lots of spelling practice time copying the spelling, not just testing it Rainbow writing Look, say, cover, write, check Mnemonic- because- Big Elephants Can’t Always Use Small Exits
developing basic number skills by:
Securing a good understanding of place value and recognising number bonds to 20 Adding and subtracting numbers mentally and using written methods, including two-digit numbers Learning the multiplication and division facts for the 2x, 5x and 10x tables Solving problems including + - x and ÷ symbols Practising these skills frequently will help children’s mathematical thinking throughout school.
Lots of practice with tens and ones – you can use pencils and lego bricks to
replicate the tens and ones we use in school
Using facts you know to CALCULATE rather than to COUNT e.g. 13 + 9 is like
13 + 10 Addition and subtraction
Column method including carrying and borrowing
Multiplication and division
Arrays Times tables!
Problem solving
Understanding what you are being asked Working out what to do first/next and checking it makes sense
As in previous years, Year 2 assessment will be a combination of teacher judgement and testing. Children will be assessed against three standards:
Working towards the expected standard Working at the expected standard Working at greater depth within the expected standard
At the end of Year 2, all children will sit the National Curriculum Tests for Key Stage 1. These will be for the subjects:
Maths – Arithmetic test and reasoning tests English – Reading tests
Grammar, punctuation and spelling tests
These will be marked on a National Scaled Score. A pupil who achieves the national standard will have demonstrated
sufficient knowledge in the areas assessed by the tests. This will mean that they are well placed to succeed in the next phase of their education.
The tests will take place during the month
unit.
These tests contribute to the end of year
teacher assessment, they do not supersede
It is important that your children are in
school for these tests as they really do allow them to demonstrate their learning for the year.
This will include a short arithmetic test of around 25
questions, and a second paper of broader mathematics which will last around 35 minutes. Arithmetic questions examples: 89 + 10 = …. + 5 = 9 87 − 40 = 8 x 10 = 2 x 0 = 35 ÷ 5 = ¼ of 20 =
