Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

Welcome back!

We hope you have all had a fantastic winter break!

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 the spring term is 'Staying Alive' where we will be learning all about the human body, healthy eating and Florence Nightingale. Keep checking the class page to see what we will be learning in the core subjects over the week.
