Welcome to Year 2!

The classes in Year 2 are Pine Class and Acer Class.

Pine Class: Mrs. Eeles (class teacher) and Mrs. Chadwick (class teaching assistant)

Acer Class: Mrs. Studholme (class teacher - Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri), Mrs. Moriarty (class teacher - Weds) and Mrs. C Faulkner (class teaching assistant)

In Year 2, we promote an ethos of: Respect; Integrity; Compassion; Humility; Endeavour; and Responsibility.  These values are shared throughout our school community.

Our aim in Year 2 is to promote a love of learning through discussion and questioning.  We enjoy coming across different problems and learning how to solve them.

Please remember to check the Class Dojo pages regularly for everyday updates, photos and reminders of what is happening in Year 2.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to talk to a member of the Year 2 team - they will be more than happy to help.

Reading

The children will bring home two reading books.  One book will be their reading book which is aligned with their phonic knowledge and the other book will be a 'Reading for Pleasure' book.  It is important that the children read their reading book at least 3 times a week and that any reading at home is recorded in their reading records.  The 'Reading for Pleasure' book is a book that can be shared at home for enjoyment so that children develop a love for reading.  If the children read 3 times or more in a week, they receive 3 Dojos and their name gets put into a raffle and is hopefully pulled out to take the reading trophy home!
