WELCOME TO YEAR 2!

Teaching Assistants – Mrs Gilroy, Mrs Bahadoor and Miss Scott
Hi! Welcome to Year 2. We have lots of exciting things planned for this year and we are looking forward to sharing our experiences with you. We will be working hard and exploring and developing our creativity across all areas of the curriculum through engaging projects.
Each of our projects will start with an activity which hooks the children in to the learning, from baking biscuits using a traditional 16th century recipe to going for a walk to Rodden Meadow searching for habitats. As part of our Engineers topic we will be taking a trip to the SS Great Britain to experience the world of Brilliant Brunel. Each term we will also have opportunities to share and celebrate our learning with both parents/carers and the rest of the school, including setting fire to a miniature Pudding Lane and sharing our homemade soup.
Home Challenges
Our Home Challenges are given out once per term and are themed around our project.
