A Year in Dosbarth Llwynog
Teaching and learning in our school changes each year according to the needs of the children in our classes however we would still like to give you an insight into what a year in Dosbarth Llwynog looks like!
In Year 2, pupils will continue to grow as confident, independent learners who are curious about the world around them. They will begin the year by building strong relationships and settling into a supportive, inclusive classroom environment where kindness and respect are at the heart of everything they do.
The year will start with a No Outsiders topic, which will focus on kindness, friendship, and celebrating differences. Pupils will explore what it means to be kind, fair, and welcoming, learning how everyone is unique and valued within our school community. This will set a positive tone for the year and help children understand the importance of belonging and respect.
Following this, pupils will explore the story ‘The Gingerbread Man’, where they will delve into traditional tales through storytelling, drama, and creative writing. Using the Talk for Writing approach, they will develop confidence in retelling stories, understanding story structure, and creating imaginative new versions of familiar tales.
Later in the term, pupils will take part in an inquiry focused on “Where do I belong in the world?”. Through this topic, they will explore their local area, learn about Wales and the wider community, and discover how communities and cultures connect across the globe. They will express their learning through art, humanities, and digital work, developing a strong sense of identity and belonging.
As the year continues, pupils will move on to “Is Plastic Fantastic?”, an inquiry that will encourage them to think critically about the environment and the impact of human actions on the planet. They will explore ways to reduce waste, protect wildlife, and promote sustainability, developing an understanding of how they can make a positive difference.
In the final term, pupils will explore “How Can I Keep Healthy?”, where they will learn how to care for their bodies and minds. They will consider the importance of a balanced diet, staying active, keeping clean, and looking after their emotional well-being. This inquiry will help pupils understand how to make healthy choices and live balanced, happy lives.
Throughout the year, learning will be enriched through opportunities to explore the Welsh language and culture, engage with expressive arts, and develop practical skills across all areas of learning. Educational visits, performances, and collaborative projects will help pupils connect their learning to the world around them.
