Hello and a warm welcome to our Year 2 class page!

I am delighted to begin an exciting year of learning and fun together. As we explore the curriculum, we will participate in lessons that relate to real-world experiences, making learning relevant and enjoyable. Our classroom will be a warm and welcoming space, where each day brings fresh adventures and opportunities to make lasting memories.

Please remember to check Google Classroom regularly for important updates and information.

Here’s to a brilliant year filled with curiosity, meaningful experiences, and lots and lots of books!

Please bring reading books and reading records into school every day. Reading books will be changed on a Friday. Please try to read with your child at home as much as possible and write a comment in their reading records each time you hear them read. The more children read at home, the more tickets they will earn for our reading prize box!
