Hi NorhamGardens:
Cumbria grid for learning has a nice list of what should be covered by year for maths here: numeracy.cumbriagridforlearning.org.uk/index.php?category_id=185 - just select Y2.
And for literacy here: www.cumbriagridforlearning.org.uk/index.php?category_id=781 - just select 'Core Learning by Year'.
Useful resources for at home:
Highly recommend BBC bitesize KS1 games: these help prepare in areas of maths/ literacy/ science for KS1 SATs and really highlight any areas of weakness. Link here: www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks1/
BBC Learning [BETA] website has some brilliant resources for KS1 by area of curriculum here: www.bbc.co.uk/schools/teachers/ - just select the KS1 tab in the orange box mid left and then the appropriate area of curriculum. There are links to games/ worksheets/ videos, etc....
BBC Class Clips: also has brilliant video links to support areas of the curriculum here: www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/
Crickweb - link here: www.crickweb.co.uk/Key-Stage-1.html
Select KS1 on the blue menu bar at top of screen and then scroll down to area of curriculum. Great games to support learning.
Woodlands junior school: resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/
These are support materials for KS2 pupils - but nonetheless there are a lot of materials there to support Y2 pupils.
It's really hard for me to say what is academically most important for your DC without knowing where's she is at. Right now I'd say it's about core skills in reading, writing and mathematics and obviously applying those to other areas of the curriculum, like science or history.
Reading: Should be moving to free reading, able to decode words (even multisyllable words) reasonably well.
Writing: moving from print to 'joined up' cursive writing. Some understanding of grammar - sentences start with capital letter and finish with punctuation. Some breadth of understanding of punctuation - full stop (.), question marks (?), etc. A VCOP diagram may help to explain the progression of skills in this area: www.primaryclass.co.uk/files/english%20pdfs%20and%20pics/VCOP_Pyramid_Lvl_1-3_final.pdf.
Ros Wilson devised this and there's a video of her here explaining this system: www.oxfordschoolimprovement.co.uk/professional-development/issueVideo/Dev-Writers-Voice-VCOP/ros-big-writing. I'd just add that your child is probably at the earliest stages of learning to write - so really it is about getting ideas down on the page, rather than insisting on everything spelled correctly and use of ambitious vocabulary/ punctuation. It's about gradually developing confidence to use more punctuation, clauses, ambitious vocabulary as time goes by - over the fullness of time especially in KS2.
Finally my main advice is to read! Really encourage reading, and don't rule out continuing to read to your child. Ideal for reading classics which may be beyond her own reading ability but age appropriate.
