Class 2

Welcome back! We hope you and your families enjoyed a wonderful Christmas break and had some well-earned time to rest and recharge. The end of the Autumn term was very busy, particularly with the nativity, so thank you for your continued support.

In English, we will continue to concentrate on grammar, punctuation and spelling through our phonics and spelling sessions as well as our daily English lessons. Children in Class 2 will have the opportunity to practise these skills across a range of different texts including narratives, poems, letters and information texts.

In Maths, we will begin a new unit of an introduction to multiplication. Throughout the term, children will also continue to secure their knowledge of number place value and will practise their arithmetic skills regularly during mastering number sessions.

In Science, we will begin our new topic Animals Including Humans, where children will learn about how animals and humans grow, their basic needs for survival, and the importance of exercise, healthy eating and hygiene.

For further details about our Spring term learning, please see the Year 2 curriculum overview.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact myself at the end of the school day. Thank you again for your continued support.

Warm regards,

Miss Connolly

World Book Day and British Science Week in Class 2!

As part of World Book Day and British Science Week, Class 2 enjoyed a fun‑filled week themed around Jack and the Beanstalk . We even had a special visitor and discovered a mysterious giant footprint, complete with a letter from the Giant himself! The children carried out science experiments to help prove to Jack’s mother that the magic beans were real, and of course, we rounded off the week by dressing up as our favourite book characters.

Habitat trail and animal handling 🪺🐾

This afternoon, Class 2 children explored an exciting habitat trail. We discussed the habitats of British wildlife and how they would create them to survive. Children then worked in small groups to create some habitats of their own. Later on, we were able to visit the rabbits and guinea pigs! The children were incredibly gentle and calm around the animals. Well done Class 2!
