Everything you need to know about Year 2…
Year 2 is a very important year for the children! We have lots of work to do but we also aim to have a lot of fun along the way.
In Year 2, Mrs. Aris teaches for the majority of the week; Mr. McKeown, our Teaching Assistant, is also with us for most of the week. Additionally, Miss. Gillette teaches us on Wednesday morning and Mr. Wylde teaches us on Thursday afternoons. We’re also very lucky to have Miss Mallinson teach us music on a Wednesday morning.
With all the work we are doing in class, we will get homework too. We are expected to read every night and learn some spellings.

Miss Forshaw and Miss Duffy read the story ‘Room on the Broom’ and children took part in sequencing the story and making hats. Miss Cross, Miss Flower and Miss Dugdale read the story ‘Tiddler’. Children were excited to make starfish with food and glitter and also create fish paintings with bubble wrap. Mrs Aris and McMcKeown read the story ‘The Gruffalo’ and children learnt a song all about The Gruffalo. Children also enjoyed eating scrambled snake (popcorn), Gruffalo teeth (mini marshmallows), Owl Ice-Cream (squirty cream) and Gruffalo tusks (French fries crisps).
