Year Two

Welcome to Year 2!

Our Class Page

Welcome to the class page for Year 2! We are proud to be a class of polite, hard-working children who try our best in all aspects of school life. If your child is in Year 2 then please familiarise yourself with this page as it will let you know the various activities the class are currently involved in.

Throughout this year, we will build on the experience, knowledge and skills we gained last year to secure the Key Stage 1 standards. Some of us will be building on these basic skills before beginning our Year 3 learning!

Please have a look around our class page to find out what we are learning about in each subject and see what we're getting up to!
