In Year 2 the children are taught through formal lessons, which helps to build up their knowledge and confidence in all subject areas. We provide children with engaging activities which ensure they will achieve to the best of their ability. ### KS1 SATs In year 2, pupils will be sitting their KS1 SATs tests. There are 5 test papers: - Reading x 2 - English grammar, punctuation and spelling - Maths arithmetic - Maths reasoning The SATs will take place in May. More information about this will be shared with you throughout the year as well as ways in which you can support your child to achieve their best in year 2 and prepare them for KS2. Children will be given a standardised score from the test, however this will be used alongside teacher assessment of the children’s work throughout the year. At the end of the year, your child will receive an overall result: - Working below key stage - Working towards expected - Working at expected - Working above expected Please use this very helpful website for parents below for more information about the SATs, previous SATs papers and ways in which you can support your child at home.

Arriving to school on time is crucial as we begin our school day at 8.45am and learning begins straight away. Please support your child in completing their homework regularly. Homework is given out every Thursday and is due in every Tuesday. Please make sure you listen to your child read everyday and ask them questions about what they are reading. You will also find writing ideas to encourage your child to practise their writing skills. To see what children are expected to be able to do independently by the end of year 2, we have added the year 2 targets. If you have any questions please ask the class teacher or the year group lead Miss Edmonds.
