Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

Easter & Pentecost Terms 2025

Dear Parents,

I hope that you have all had a wonderful Easter.

We are very excited about our learning for the next two terms. Please have a look over our class curriculum. If you have any questions, please come to the classroom at the end of the school day. Alternatively, if you have any concerns of a more delicate nature, please make an appointment with me 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.
Please can children bring in a named, full water bottle each day. This is particularly important on PE days as children will be taking their water bottles to the far playground so that they can drink as and when they need to.
Homework will be given out on Fridays and expected in the following Friday. Each week children will receive spellings and a times table focus, together with either written work or maths calculations.
Children are 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.

Year 2 acted out the events that led up to the crucifixion of Jesus, including Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. They then went on to act out the events of Eastertide: Easter Sunday, Ascension Day and Pentecost.

On Good Friday, Jesus was crucified.

On Easter Sunday, Jesus rose from the dead. Mary Magdalene was shocked.

40 days later on Ascension Day, Jesus returned to heaven.

10 days later at Pentecost, the disciples received the Holy Spirit.

VE Day Celebrations: 8.5.25.

Year 2 came to school dressed in red, white and blue colours. We looked at rationing, in particular the food choices which were available during those difficult years. We made some traditional lemonade, some sandwiches using only jam or paste and we made some jam tarts.
