Hello Year 2

Miss Moran is your class teacher and we are lucky to have Miss Roberts and Mrs Brenchley working with us.
Welcome to our class page. We’re excited to inform what the class will be learning this half term, as well as showing you all the fun we are having on their learning journey. 

This term's value and virtue is eloquent and truthful.

Pupils are developing an eloquent language in which they can use to understand and articulate their emotions, beliefs and questions. They are encouraged to be truthful in the way they represent themselves and speak about the world. 

Our class saint is St George. 

Thank you for all your support
Miss Moran

In this unit, the children will learn about the stories and characters of the Old Testament. It will also introduce them to important images of God found in the Bible. 

Cornerstones

Our topic this term is 

The Scented Garden

Tiptoe through the tulips as your senses discover the blooming foliage and enchanting fragrances of flowers and herbs. Round and round the mulberry bush we go, planting seeds and bulbs and watching them grow beneath the sunshine and shadows. Everything is coming up roses. Why not grow your own?

Science

Linking to our Cornerstones topic this term, we are also learning about Plants. 

We will be identifying the different types and parts of a plant. We will be learning about what is needed to help make a plant grow.
