Year 2
Children in Year 2 start each half term with a new topic which begins with a Wow Factor experience and ends with a Showcase where parents are often invited to join in. Children will enjoy books throughout each topic, with one as their focus text that they will become very familiar with. The unit plans set out how subjects are woven throughout the topic.
