These vocab and grammar topics come from the Starters Year One book which the children enrolling in Starters Year Two will be “skipping.”
Most of these vocab topics will be expanded on in year two, so there will be opportunity for revision. Year two will also introduce one or two new topics that complement the ones already covered. HOWEVER, only a couple of the grammar topics will be revised, and the rest will be new topics. So, it is important that they are familiar, or they know the year one topics already.
