A Warm Welcome to Year 2!
In Year 2 there are two classes, Rabbits and Otters.
In Rabbit's class, the class teacher is Miss Baxter and Mrs Normington and Miss Clayton support learning.
In Otter's class, the class teacher is Mrs Woodhead and Mrs Thompson, Miss Holder and Miss Hall support learning.
In Year 2, we have high aspirations for our children and constantly encourage them to ‘Be the best that they can be’. We equip them with the necessary skills to be independent, inquisitive learners through a wealth of carefully planned, engaging activities.
A typical morning consists of daily RWI (our phonics session), English and Maths lessons. On an afternoon, begin with daily mental maths and then we spend time on our exciting foundation subjects.
Within our engaging foundation subjects, we pose open-ended questions for the children to respond to through their learning journey by providing them with the necessary skills to answer them. Questions range from 'Can we compare the two Arctic explorers Captain Falcon Scott and Ann Daniels?’ and ‘ Is the weather the same across the UK?’.
Other afternoons are filled with exciting lessons such as Art and Design, PE, computing, RE and Design and Technology. Children in Year 2 also have weekly music lessons where they learn to play the glockenspiel. To support our curriculum, we like to venture out on enriching educational visits, which really helps to bring the learning to life for our children!
As you can see, the Year 2 children are very busy bees! We keep you up-to-date with all the fun we have through our online learning platform, Class Dojo.
