What does our curriculum look like?

In Year Two we have selected five topics that we hope will captivate the children’s interests. Through a connected curriculum, we will develop the children's skills and develop their knowledge of History, Geography, Art, Design and Technology and Science. We begin a topic with something to hook the children in, this is called the “engage” stage. The children then “develop” their learning before presenting what they have been learning. This provides the children with a context to share their work, and we refer to this as the “express” stage. Most of this work is recorded in the children's own individual topic books but some whole class projects are recorded in our big book. You will have the opportunity to look at both of these throughout the year.

These are the topics we will be covering this year:

Beachcombers

Land Ahoy!

Wiggle and Crawl

The Scented Garden

Changing Landscapes

How do we reward children in Primrose Class?

We believe in developing positive behaviours through consistent practice – after all, we are what we repeatedly do! Our focus is on recognising and encouraging the behaviours we want children to notice and build upon. Through our visuals of building on solid rock and beware of the sand, children learn that their choices shape their future and are not simply about complying with rules.

All children begin on the solid rock, and we focus on recognising and encouraging the behaviours we want them to notice and strengthen. When children demonstrate exceptional behaviour, they can earn a Headteacher’s Award, where they receive praise, feedback, and a certificate. Our visuals help children understand that their choices shape their future. If a child is in danger of slipping onto the sand, the teacher supports them with strategies to help them return to the rock, ensuring the approach remains positive, supportive, and growth-focused.
