Our Autumn 2 newsletter is attached at the bottom of this page, with information about what Year 2 will be learning, and the exciting things planned for the next half-term.

Home learning

What a lovely half-term we have had in Year 2! The children have been working so hard, showing fantastic effort, enthusiasm and a wonderful attitude towards their learning. It has been lovely to see their confidence grow and to celebrate all the progress they have made.

As we head into the half-term break, I hope you all have a wonderful, restful holiday filled with lots of fun and special moments together. If you have some time, there are a few fun home learning activities below that the children can enjoy.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. The children should be very proud of all they have achieved this half-term!

Have a fantastic half-term holiday, and I look forward to seeing everyone back refreshed and ready for another exciting half-term of learning!

Best wishes, Year 2 Team

Picture news

Class reader

In Year 2, we enjoyed reading Superworm by Julia Donaldson. We explored the story, discussed the characters and their adventures, and thought about how Superworm helps his friends. We developed our reading comprehension skills by answering questions, making predictions and retelling the story. We also discussed the importance of friendship, teamwork and helping others.

1. Who is the main character in the story?
2. Name one animal that Superworm helps.
3. Who captures Superworm?
4. How do the animals help to rescue Superworm?
5. What is the message of the story?
