Curriculum Content for

English, Maths and Science

In Year 2, children will learn:

For details about when each objective is taught, please refer to the curriculum maps.

In English:

During year 2, teachers will build on learning from Year 1.

The Key Objectives for Reading are:

1 Secure phonic decoding until reading is fluent

2 Read accurately by blending, including alternative sounds for graphemes

3 Read multi-syllable words containing these graphemes

4 Read common suffixes

5 Read exception words, noting unusual correspondences

6 Read most words quickly & accurately without overt sounding and blending

7 Listening to, discussing and expressing views about a wide range of contemporary and

classic poetry, stories and non-fiction at a level beyond that at which they can read

independently

8 Recognising simple recurring literary language in stories and poetry

9 Continuing to build up a repertoire of poems learnt by heart, appreciating these and

reciting some, with appropriate intonation to make the meaning clear

10 Discussing and clarifying the meanings of words, linking new meanings to known

vocabulary

11 Discussing the sequence of events in books and how items of information are related

12 Making inferences on the basis of what is being said and done

13 Answering and asking questions

14 Predicting what might happen on the basis of what has been read so far

15 Explain and discuss their understanding of books, poems and other material, both those

that they listen to and those that they read for themselves

These objectives will be taught through daily phonics, guided reading and English

lessons. As well as being supported by parents at home by reading with your child

every evening for 20 minutes.

All pupils need to develop the skill of blending the sounds into words for reading and

establish the habit of applying this skill whenever they encounter new words. We ensure

all books are of a high-quality to develop a love of reading and broaden their

vocabulary.

The Key Objectives for Writing are:

16 Segmenting spoken words into phonemes and representing these by graphemes,

spelling many correctly

17 Learning new ways of spelling phonemes for which 1 or more spellings are already

known, and learn some words with each spelling, including a few common

homophones

18 Learning the possessive apostrophe (singular)

19 Learning to spell more words with contracted forms

20 Add suffixes to spell longer words, including –ment, –ness, –ful, –less, –ly

21 Form lower-case letters of the correct size relative to one another

22 Write capital letters and digits of the correct size, orientation and relationship to one

another and to lower-case letters

23 Writing for different purposes

24 Read aloud what they have written with appropriate intonation to make the meaning

clear

25 Expanded noun phrases to describe and specify

26 Sentences with different forms: statement, question, exclamation, command

27 The present and past tenses correctly and consistently including the progressive form

28 Subordination (using when, if, that, or because) and co-ordination (using or, and, or but)

29 Learning how to use both familiar and new punctuation correctly, including full stops,

capital letters, exclamation marks, question marks, commas for lists and apostrophes...

In Mathematics:

During Year 2, the focus continues to develop confidence and mental fluency with

whole numbers, counting and place value. This should involve working with numerals,

words and the four operations, including with practical resources [for example,

concrete objects, Numicon and measuring tools].

At this stage, pupils should develop their ability to recognise, describe, draw, compare

and sort different shapes and use the related vocabulary. It will also include involve

using a range of measures to describe and compare different quantities such as length,

mass, capacity/volume, time and money.

By the end of year 2, pupils should know the number bonds to 20 and be precise in

using and understanding place value. An emphasis on practice at this early stage will

aid fluency.

1 Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and

backward

2 Recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number

3 Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs

4 Use place value and number facts to solve problems; recall and use addition and

subtraction facts to 20 fluently, and derive and use related facts up to 100

5 Add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations, and

mentally, including: TU+U, TU+T, TU+TU and U+U+U

6 Recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and use

this to check calculations and solve missing number problems.

7 Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables,

including recognising odd and even numbers

8 Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the

multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals

(=) signs

9 Recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3, 1/4 , 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, shape, set of

objects or quantity

10 Write simple fractions for example, 1/2 of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of 2/4

and 1/2.

11 Recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p); combine amounts to make a

particular value

12 Tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past/to the hour and draw the

hands on a clock face to show these times

13 Identify and describe the properties of 2-D shapes, including the number of sides and

line symmetry in a vertical line.

14 Identify and describe the properties of 3-D shapes, including the number of edges,

vertices and faces

15 Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams and simple

tables

In Science:

The aim of science in Year 2 is to ensure experience and observe phenomena, looking

more closely at the natural and humanly-constructed world around them. They should

be encouraged to be curious and ask questions about what they notice.

Working Scientifically:

1 Asking simple questions and recognising that they can be answered in different ways

2 Observing closely, using simple equipment

3 Performing simple tests

4 Identifying and classifying

5 Using their observation and ideas to suggest answers to questions

6 Gathering and recording data to help in answering questions

Living Things and their habitats:

7 Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead, and things

that have never been alive.

8 Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how

different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants,

and how they depend on each other

9 Identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats, including micro-

habitats

10 Describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the idea of

a simple food chain, and identify and name different sources of food

Plants:

11 Observe and describe how seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants

12 Find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow

and stay healthy.

Animals, including humans:

13 Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grown into adults

14 Find out about and describe the basic needs of animals, including humans, for survival

(water, food and air)

15 Describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different

types of food, and hygiene.

Uses of everyday materials:

16 Identify and compare the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood,

metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard for different uses

17 Find out how the shapes of solid objects made from some materials can be changed by

squashing, bending, twisting and stretching

Times tables - Year 2

Children can count in steps of 2, 3, 5, 10.

Children know times tables facts for 2, 5, 10

Children can recognise odd and even numbers with times tables facts.

Ideas to support your child at home:

Bk s

You can also use household objects to support your children with their math learning. Some

examples are:

Counting in steps of 2

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14

2 x 7 = 14

7 lots of 2 = 14

2, 14

Counting in steps of 5

5, 10, 15, 20

5 x 4 = 20

4 lots of 5 = 20

Counting in steps of 10

10, 20, 30, 40

10 x 4 = 40

4 lots of 10 = 40

Can you count on from 18? (18, 19, 20,

21…)

Can you count back from 23? (23, 22,

21, 20…)

Can you count in steps of 5? (5, 10, 15, 20, 25…)

Can you count in steps of 3? (3, 6, 9, 12…)

Can you answer…?

2 x 3 = 5 x 6 = 10 x 3 =

2 lots of 3 = 2 groups of 3 =

2 x 3 = 6

Is the number 6 odd or even?

How do you know?

All can be found on Amazon or WHSmiths

You can also use household objects to support your children with their math

learning. Some examples are:

Lego blocks come in many different shapes and sizes, but

they all have one thing in common. They carry raised

nodes on the top of the bricks, which are ideal for

multiplication.

The pictured lego block has 8 raised nodes. 1 X 8 = 8

Use multiplie blocks with the same number of nodes for

repeated addition.

In the picture, there are 6 blocks. Each block has 8 raised

nodes.

In multiplication, this would be recorded as 6 X 8.

By counting the raised nodes, children can find the

answer.

6 X 8 = 48

Use different numbered blocks to help children becoming familiar with their

multiplication tables.

turn over 2 at a time. If they add to

10 keep the cards. The winner has

the most pairs at the end.

Challenge – Multiply the 2 cards together.

When pairing socks encourage your child

to count in 2s.

You could ask:

How many altogether?

How many pairs?

What is 2 more/2 less?

Challenge: Use pairs of gloves instead

counting in 5s and 10s.

Go on a number hunt when out and about

for example:

on the way to school and back

shopping trips

visiting family and friends.

Questions you can ask:

What’s the biggest/smallest

number?

How many buses can we see?
