Year 2
Welcome to Year 2
Welcome to Year Two and your last year in Key Stage One! We have a super year a head of us. We will be learning about The Great Fire of London, the hot and cold places of our Earth, the adventures and expeditions of explorers like Neil Armstrong & Felicity Anson and how holidays at the seaside have changed over time. We will also be getting ready for life in Key Stage Two – learning how to ‘join – up’ all of our handwriting and learning some times tables ( 2s, 5s, 10s, 3s & 4s). We work hard in Year 2 but we have a lot of fun on our journey together!
