Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

Welcome back!

We hope you have all had a fantastic summer holiday! 

On the class page, you will be able to find out what we are doing over the next fortnight, see photographs of our activities, access websites which might be useful as well as see what spelling words we are currently working on. 

Our new topic for autumn term is 'Turrets and Tiaras' where we will be learning all about castles, royalty and squires. We will be going on a trip to Windsor castle and exploring how to be a medieval knight. Keep checking the class page to see what we will be learning in the core subjects over the week.
