Welcome to Year 2 2019

Year 2 have had such an exciting start to 2019! They have been learning all about Castles and Dragons in their new topic, 'Animals including humans,' in their science and re-enacting 'The Gruffalo' in the snow! Every day is another opportunity for fun learning.

Year 2 love receiving their Marvellous Me's, shooting stars and now have their very own marble jar for exceptional class behaviours.

Mrs Isaac is Year 2s teacher Monday-Wednesday and Mrs Grundy is Year 2s teacher Thursday and Friday. We are also very lucky to have Mrs Mills and Miss Allen who are Year 2s teaching assistants throughout the week.
