Year 2
Welcome to Year 2
Epiphany & Lent Terms 2025
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year. Thank you for your kind wishes, cards and very generous gifts that Mrs Concannon and I received. We hope that you have all had a fantastic Christmas break. Your children have been enthusiastically sharing some of their adventures; what an amazing time they have had. Thank you for coming to share our Christmas performances and show casing afternoon. The children were so proud to share their learning. We are very excited about our new learning for the next two terms. Please have a look at our class curriculum which is detailed in the newsletter on the website. If you have any questions, please come to the classroom at the end of the school day. Alternatively, if you have a concern of a more delicate nature, please make an appointment so we can talk these through. |
Mrs Breen and Mrs Concannon
A few things I would like to highlight;
- PE this term will be on Thursdays. Please can children have their full, clearly named, PE kit in school at all times, including socks for girls who normally wear tights as part of their school uniform. We would appreciate that earrings and watches are removed for PE.
- Homework will usually be given out on Fridays and expected in the following Friday. Each week children will receive spellings to learn and understand, a times table to focus on and a piece of written work to complete. Please work with your child to complete their home tasks.
- Children are also encouraged to read daily at home, reading aloud with an adult who can discuss the text with them. Please record in their reading record. Reading books will be changed weekly or more often on request.
- Reading records can be used as contact books between home and school – please ask your child to hand their reading record to me if there is a specific message.

Too Good To Be True? Protecting Yourself and Others From Scams Online.
Pictogram to show how the children in Year 2 use the internet.
We learnt about what 'personal information' means. Our 'personal information' MUST be kept PRIVATE and OFFLINE. This includes: our name, our age, our date of birth, where we live, what school we go to, what we do and where we go out of school time, details about or families, photographs of ourselves and our families, any passwords we use.
We discussed what SCAM means. We used examples to help us understand. We now know that if we see or read anything online that worries us or that is new to us, we need to STOP, CLOSE and TELL a TRUSTED ADULT. We looked at who our trusted adults were.
