Hello and welcome to Year 2!

We have two teachers in our classroom - Mrs O'Byrne teaches Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Spence teaches Thursday and Friday.  We also have Ms Jones and Mrs Storey, Learning Facilitators, working in our class each day.

In Year 2, we have lots of fun being curious learners and endevour to follow our school values: Love, Growth and Strength.

A typical day in our classroom looks like this:

• Assembly
• Phonics (Essential Letters and Sounds)
• English
• Play time
• Maths
• Lunch time
• Foundation Subject (such as Art and Design, History, Music, Science etc)
• Play time
• Foundation Subject
• Handwriting and Class Novel
• Home time at 3:25pm

Our PE days are Tuesday and Friday, when we come to school wearing our School PE Kit.  On Tuesday, we get taught PE by Molly who is a coach from SHARES.

Every Friday we have a Celebration Assembly where parents and carers are invited to come and watch us get our certificate.  Each Wednesday, our teachers send home a secret invitation to one of our growns.... but ssshhh, it's a surprise!  We don't find out who is getting the certificate until we're in our special Friday celebration assembly!

When we have been busy using our brains, we sometimes have a quick movement break (which always involves singing and plenty of dance moves!). 

We love to read in our class - reading helps you to grow and takes you on amazing adventures.  What are your favourite books to read?

How can you help us at home?

Our grown-ups can help support our learning at home by helping us to practise our weekly spellings, listen to us read our ELS book at least three times a week and help us to learn our times tables ( X2, X5 and X10).

Keep an eye on our gallery to see what we've been getting up to on our learning journey!  Ask us about our day at school.
