In Year 2 we love to learn, explore, read and investigate the world around us. Come on a journey with us as we find out all about the Seaside, Animals and their Habitats, The Great Fire of London and many more exciting topics. Year 2 deliver a wonderful Advent service to our friends and families. We also have an exciting school trip planned.

Holding a pencil correctly requires strong finger and hand muscles. A correct pencil grip will help children to move the fingers, controlling the pencil with efficient finger movements. A great way for children to exercise pencil grip is through art and mark making, where they will learn to draw and follow patterns.Please watch this video to help you.

Together, we have explored the book’s rich language and stunning illustrations, following the river’s journey from its calm beginnings in the mountains, through forests, farms, and cities, and finally out to the sea.
