Year 2

Welcome to our Year 2 class page!

Class Teacher - Mrs Bradshaw

Teaching Assistant - Mrs Moloney

 

In Year 2, we will have so much fun with our learning! This year, we will build on all our wonderful learning from Year 1 and expand our knowledge with new and inspiring topics such as The Great Fire of London, coding, Rwanda and Neil Armstrong. Year 2 is such an exciting year as the children are already settled into the routines of 'big' school and can enjoy their school days without any worries! We begin each day with a lovely, calming story chosen by our children from the library as well as some positive affirmations! I have linked one of the videos I use below so you can have a go at home!

As well as our day-to-day lessons, we have so many fantastic experiences to look forward to, such as library trips, visits from drama groups, the nativity and so much more!

We can't wait to share our Year 2 journey with you all as we tackle each new challenge along the way. Please click on the links below for all your child's learning.

Year 2 Gallery

Meeting our Year 5 Buddies! We had a lovely time with them as they shared a book with us and we even read to them too!

We've been talking PANTS!

We know we have the right to say 'No!' and that a safe adult (that we trust) will always listen to us if something makes us feel upset or worried.

To Know You More Clearly

In To Know You More Clearly, we enjoyed learning about Noah's Ark and God's Promise.

We had Prayer and Liturgy with our Year 5 buddies and loved sharing our go forth to shine our light the brightest!

Reading

Year 2 loved getting our new books from St Helens Library Service!

Neil Armstrong

We created a timeline of Neil Armstrong's life.

Having a great time with our warm up song in dance!

What does it mean to be a Holy Spirit pupil?

We explored what this meant to us and came up with some fantastic words!

Artists as Collectors

In Art, we are exploring nature so we collected leaves that we could draw in our sketchbooks.
