Year 2

WELCOME TO YEAR 2

In Year 2 we have 2 classes. Badger Class is taught by Mrs Brock on Monday to Wednesday and Mrs McAloon on Wednesday to Friday. Hedgehog Class is taught by Miss Bufton. Our Teaching assistants are Mrs Stanley, Mrs Collins, Miss Barnes and Miss Dalfsen.

PE lessons will be on Wednesdays and will be taught by Mr Sheikh from NSSport and Mrs McAloon. Please can children come dressed in their PE kit on the day that they have their PE lesson.

We will continue to change books once a week. Each child will take two books home on a Monday and keep them until Friday. This way we will be able to isolate books safely before they are needed again (they will be in quarantine until Monday). The children will need to put their reading diary and books into the appropriate box on a Friday morning. We will not be going through their book bags for them - it is their responsibility to let us know if it needs changing. We will endeavour to listen to the children read at least once a week and will make a little note in their reading diary. Please make a comment when you hear you children read.

Please can you also keep an eye on our Dojo page as we will be sharing the children's work on there regularly.

This term our topics are Materials and their properties in science. In combined studies we are learning about Animals and will be moving onto Pirates.

In English we are focusing on poetry and sharing our favourite poems to the class each week. If you have any favourite ones, please bring them in to share.
