Year 2

Welcome to the Year 2 Class Page where you will find curriculum and homework information.

Year 2 is top infants! The children have been establishing themselves as independent learners through Reception and Year 1. In Year 2 we harness these learning behaviours to develop our learning through different strategies and questioning to reflect more maturely on our individual and group work. We deepen our understanding of the skills involved in being a mathematician, writer, reader, scientist, geographer, sport person, historian, artist and engineer and use our talents to serve each other and the broader community.

Forest School

Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed our first forest school session- especially the warming hot chocolate and toast with such cold weather. We learnt about how different material can be used to build the frame of a den. We then used branches and leaves to create our safe home.

What a wonderful day Year 2 ! First we discovered a mysterious bag filled with the belongings of the legendary explorer Ernest Shackleton, the whole class then took a step into his world. Together, we will constructed the majestic Endurance ship using cardboard boxes, nets, and colorful props, filling the entire classroom! Each child adopted a real character, interviewed for their role on deck, and selected a prop that would bring their job to life. With music, movement, and performance, we immersed ourselves in the thrilling journey aboard the Endurance, sailing toward Antarctica. As we ventured through this dramatic experience, the children discovered fascinating facts about Shackleton, his crew and dogs, the harsh Antarctic climate, and the power of positivity and teamwork in overcoming any challenge!
