Welcome to Year 2

Welcome back! We are so excited to start a brand new autumn term here at Swing Gate School. We hope you had a wonderful summer and are ready for the exciting journey ahead.

This term our theme is Me and My World. It’s going to be a fun and meaningful way for children to explore the world around them.

In English we will begin by working on sentence structure in our writing. We will use the text Frog and the Stranger by Max Velthuijs as our inspiration for creating our own writing. 

In Mathematics we will revisit numbers up to 100, looking at place value and ordering. We will focus on securing addition and subtraction facts up to 20.

Our lessons in Religious Education focus on Christianity this term and in Personal, Social and Health Education we will concentrate on settling the children back into school and then explore what it means to be in this world and part of a community.

Other subjects that we will be covering this term are Art, Geography, Music, Physical Education and Computing. It will be a rich and varied curriculum that is sure to keep the children engaged and active.

We know that when school and home work together, children thrive and we truly value the important role you play in your child’s learning. By working in partnership, we can help every child grow into a confident, happy, and curious learner.

If you have any questions or would like to chat, please don’t hesitate to call, email, or arrange a time to meet. We’re always here to help.
