Year 2
Welcome to Year 2's Class Page!
Teacher - Miss McPherson
TA - Mrs Smith
Welcome back to the Summer Term. Year 2 is an exciting time with lots of fun things planned for the children!
As always if you wish to discuss any aspect of the Year 2 curriculum or any issues regarding your child please contact the school office to arrange an appointment either by phone or email office@st-austins.staffs.sch.uk.
Please check back weekly to see what Year 2 have been up to as they love to share their learning journey!
Our New Class Saint - St Lucy
At the start of the term, the children had a vote to choose between 3 Saints and the class chose St Lucy as our new Saint for year 2! The children felt that her dedication to God showed how much she loved Him, and this is something which the class felt was very important when they were making their decision.
St Lucy Feast Day - 13th December
Year 2 Spelling Lists
I just want to share with you all an updated spelling list for year 2! These are words which children need to be able to confidently spell by the end of the year. We will be doing lots of practice of these words in class but please also practice these at home!
Year 2 this week!
St David's Day
Happy St David's Day! Today we celebrated by learning about St David and wearing yellow for this special day!
Happy World Book Day!
A massive thank you to all the parents and carers that came in to our world book day celebrations! The children had a fantastic day in their pyjamas and we made book characters from toilet rolls. Some of the children made Julia Donaldson characters, and some children made characters from books they love reading at home as well!
The children thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon reading a range of non-fiction and fiction books and thank you for reading different books at home as well!
Meet our class chefs!
In Design and Technology, we have been looking at healthy eating. The children have spent the half term investigating what makes a healthy diet and the food we could eat to keep us healthy. After planning what the children wanted to put on their wraps, the children chose a protein, dairy and a vegetable choice. Some of the children made cream cheese, tuna and sweetcorn and others tried a hummus, chicken and tomato wrap! The class had a fantastic time taste testing different food combinations and tried food they have not had before!
We are currently reading: Matilda by Roald Dahl
