Hello Year 2
Miss Moran is your class teacher and we are lucky to have Dr Mishra, Miss Steipen 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 virtues are eloquent and truthful.
Pupils in a Jesuit school are growing to be eloquent and truthful in what they say of themselves. the relations between people and the world.
Our class saint is St George.
Thank you for all your support

RE
The liturgical season this term is Easter so we will learn the celebrations of Easter here in the UK and around the world. We then learn about the events of Pentecost and the impact this made especially for the Catholic Church. .
We are focusing on the following prayers in Year 2. Please support your child in praying them at home.
Building the Kingdom
We are very proud to be a part of the Building the Kingdom programme, the aim of which is to embed distinctive Catholic Curriculum design for the transformation of society. As said on their website, ‘through the National School of Formation, a dynamic and challenging approach to teaching and learning in a Catholic School has been developed. This initiative calls for the contextualising of all learning within the beliefs and values of the Gospel and the Catholic tradition, aspiring to reach the highest possible levels of learning. We call it Building the Kingdom…’
Through Building the Kingdom, we explore the big questions of purpose and meaning that arise throughout the Liturgical year, and then create lessons and events which engage students with the skills needed to be agents for a Spirit fuelled transformation of society.
You will find this terms plan for Building the Kingdom at the bottom of the page.
Through our curriculum work this term we will be focusing on
Catholic Social Teaching - Dignity of Work
British Value - Rule of Law
Curriculum
This term our Curriculum is about
Street Detectives.
This way or that way? Where should we go? Up to the local shops or down to the playing fields? Let’s learn about community, looking at houses old and new and finding out how streets have changed since our mums and dad were young. Perhaps your granny or grandad went to your school or maybe they worked in a baker’s shop?
Ready to roll Street Detectives? Get your clipboards and cameras ready … it’s time to start investigating the Great Fire of London.
