Welcome to Year 2!

Hello, and welcome to the year 2 class page! For those of you who do not know me, my name is Mr Hussain, and I am the class teacher alongside, Miss Twist and Miss McAviney. We are extremely excited to learn and explore alongside you this year in your final year of Key Stage 1!

We have a very exciting term ahead with fun and exciting activities designed to hook the children's interest across the curriculum. I really want to see the children enjoying their learning even more so, so we have lots planned for the remainder of the school year.

Please use this webpage to find useful dates, links for homework and to see what we are learning about this term.  You can also find photos of what we have been getting up to and examples of wonderful work that will be uploaded throughout the year.

As always, please do not hesitate to make an appointment with either myself or another member of the Year 2 team if you have any queries about our learning.

Learning this Term - Autumn

English

Across school, we ensure reading is at the heart of everything we do. This term, we are studying several books. These books are listed below. We use these books during our reading sessions as well as in our English lessons, often basing some of our writing on these particular books. 

English Writing

We aim to prepare and equip our Year 2 children with the writing skills they need to become confident, independent writers, who are able to write effectively for a range of purposes and audiences. Through a balanced and broad curriculum, we provide regular opportunities for children to write from different perspectives and learn how to entertain the reader. 

Read some of our outstanding work below, inspired by the diary entries of Samuel Pepys: 

Maths

The children have all thrown themselves into 'Number recognition' and have had fun representing numbers up to 100 lots of different ways...and Mr Hussain loves his new Maths display board!

Humanities

This term, our focus is on learning about the Great Fire of 1666...

Science

This half term, our attentions in Science turn to materials, and how we can manipulate and use them.

Don't ask what we were up to in this experiment...as we were testing the levels of absorbency!
