Year 2
Welcome to Year 2!
2022- 2023
We are very excited here in Year 2, to start the new academic year.
The staff working with you in year 2 are: Mrs Taggart, Miss Robinson, Mrs Pulley, Miss Szalasna and Mrs Holmes.
We are looking forward to a really busy year ahead!
As the oldest children in Key Stage 1, we try to set a good example to the younger children. We are always busy in class, where lots of creative and fun learning takes place during all our lessons. We are always encouraged to be happy, work hard and treat each other with kindness as Jesus taught us.
