Welcome to Deer class

As we come to the end of Year 2, I just wanted to say what a truly wonderful year we have had together. It has been a year full of fun, laughter, curiosity and lots of hard work, and I am so proud of everything the children have achieved.

We have shared so many memorable experiences this year. One of our highlights was our visit to the Sea City Museum, which brought our learning to life. The children also shone in our Nativity performance and impressed everyone with their fantastic Class Assembly all about the Titanic.

In the classroom, we have worked incredibly hard across all subjects. In Maths, we have challenged ourselves with lots of new learning, and in English we have enjoyed writing in a wide range of different genres, developing our confidence and creativity. During DT, we designed and made our own cars and learnt how to sew puppets, showing great perseverance and skill.

Our History lessons took us on a fascinating journey as we learnt about the Titanic and explored the lives of famous explorers. In Science, we investigated materials, pushes and pulls, plants and animals, asking thoughtful questions and carrying out exciting investigations along the way.

It has been a pleasure to watch every child grow in confidence, independence and kindness throughout the year. They have worked so hard, supported one another and made our classroom a happy place to learn each day.

Thank you so much for all of your incredibly thoughtful cards, gifts and kind messages. Your generosity is truly appreciated and very kind. It has been such a pleasure to teach your wonderful children, and I feel very lucky to have been part of their Year 2 journey.

I hope you all have a fantastic, relaxing summer holiday filled with fun, adventure and special family time. Best of luck to all the children as they move on to Year 3 — I know they will continue to do amazing things.

Two more days of school to go!

Well done everyone, have a lovely half-term.
