Year 2

Welcome to Year 2! Our teachers in Y2 this year are Mrs Harper, Mrs Todd and Miss O'Sullivan. We are working hard in every area of learning. Here are some of the things we have been focusing on this term:

Literacy - revising all our initial sounds, learning and practising the first 30 high frequency words, letter formation, making sentences.

Numeracy - counting up to 20, number recognition up to 20, revising 2D shape, starting to learn 3D shapes, finding one more/less, the number before and after, adding on 1/2.

WAU - we started the year looking at our topic 'A Healthy Lifestyle' and since half-term we have started the topic, 'Fire!' Other topics this year will be Toys, Air and Pirates.

 For more information on Year 2 please read the school prospectus or contact the school.
