Year 2

Rewards

We use a range of rewards throughout Year Two from stickers, dojo points and weekly Celebration Certificates which are presented in our Celebration Assemblies. We use the 'My Child at School' APP (MCAS) to communicate with parents.

In Year Two, the children who did not achieve the pass mark in the Phonics Screening assessment in Year One will undertake a retake. The children will complete a reading test to show how they blend phonemes together to create real and nonsense words. We follow The Little Wandle scheme, to develop phonics and Jane Considine’s Hooked on Books and The Write Stuff to teach reading and writing skills.

During May of the summer term in Year 2 children sit SATS papers - these are statutory tests taken by primary school children, which provide information about your child’s progress compared to children of the same age nationally. The SATS papers focus on the English skills of grammar, spelling, punctuation and comprehension and the Mathematics skills of arithmetic and reasoning. SATS results are shared with parents with the end of year report.
