Year 2
Hello from the Year 2 teachers: Mrs Phillips, Mrs Allen and Miss Pearson. Our classes are supported by Mrs Nash, Mrs Riley and Miss Southall. We are really looking forward to teaching the Year 2 children this year and can't wait to celebrate some of their successes and achievements with you. Please keep an eye out on our year group page for key information and to take a sneak peak at some of the fantastic learning that goes on inside and outside our classrooms.
Key Information:
- Please make sure your child brings their reading book and homework diary into school every day.
- Homework is set on My Maths on a Wednesday and needs to be completed by the following Wednesday.
- Every half term your child will receive a spelling booklet detailing the spellings for each week. A copy of this will also be uploaded to the website in case these get mislaid (See below). Please make sure this is kept in their blue book back at all times.
- The children will be tested on their spellings every Friday.
- When hearing your child read, please comment and sign their diary.
- Reading books will be changed every Monday.
- Any work at home on learning 2, 5 and 10 times tables would be very beneficial.

Art
As part of our art curriculum this term, children will be learning about the author and artist Jeannie Baker and her collage illustrations. They will be developing their own collage skills and techniques to create a range of artwork. Year 2 created some amazing artwork using natural materials found within our school.
Dragon Egg Art
As instructed by the Dragon Curator, we spent this afternoon designing our very own Fire and Snow Dragon eggs. Take a look at us in action:
Stunning Start to Fire and Ice Topic
On Thursday 4th September we made an exciting discovery when we found two unusual eggs in the trees next to our playground. Fortunately, the mystery was solved when we received a letter later in the day from the dragon curator explaining that he has left us some dragon eggs to look after. We are all very excited to be finding out all about dragons over the coming few weeks.
