Year 2
So what happens in . . . .Year 2?
In Year 2 our learning is a bit more formal than in Year 1 and children are expected to work more independently.
Here’s what our classrooms look like.
This is O'Keeffe Classroom ...
...and this is Matisse Classroom.
And these are the teachers and teaching assistants who you’ll be learning with: Mrs Green, Miss Smith and Mrs Taimuri.

We have lots of exciting topics throughout the year related to science, history and geography such as the Victorians, Space, Transport, Animals, Seaside and Jamaica. We also continue to improve our reading, writing and maths.
To help with our learning in Year 2 we have some special days throughout the year such as a themed dress up day for our Victorians topic where you will get to experience what it would be like to be a school pupil in the Victorian times. You’ll get plenty of notice when the time comes for each of these.
