Year 2

Welcome to Year Two!

We are Year Two and we are incredible! We love to learn new things and we know that we can grow and stretch our brains each and every day by learning new things together. There are twenty-nine of us in our class and we have lots of boys in our class – almost double the number of girls if we use our maths to explain! Our teachers are Mrs Rushton (who loved us so much she moved up from Year One with us!) and Mrs Riley and they both work hard to help us to learn and do our best each day.

We understand that we are all similar but also very different and we know the world would be very boring if we were all the same! We like to learn in different ways and we are all very clever, with lots of interesting skills in school and exciting hobbies outside of school. We love to learn lots of new things and we always say that team work makes the dream work as we can achieve so much when we work together and use all of our different strengths to do our best!

We show our school values every day and we are excellent role models for the children in Key Stage One and the Foundation Stage. We understand how our school rules help us to stay safe, we always show respect and we are kind in our actions and words. We are courageous and determined, we try to inspire others and the work that we produce is excellent!

We all made super progress in Year One and we are working hard to learn more in Year Two, applying our phonics skills, making sure we use punctuation in our writing and working with much bigger numbers in maths! We love to learn with our hands and in science, we are able to investigate and explore the world around us inside and outside of the classroom. We love to visit our school woodland and explore the plants and creatures in the school grounds too.

At Hillside Primary, we are able to develop as individuals: we choose our own team names, we make our own friendships and we get to choose books from the library, play games or complete activities at play times! We love to climb the timber trail, play on the agility equipment or use the school field to race and chase, stretching our bodies and getting stronger each day.

We love being in Year Two and know that we will keep shining like the stars we are as we grow in confidence and ability each and every day!
