Please wait in the hall after drop off and you will be collected after registration and taken to your child’s classroom.
We hope to see many of you there!

Welcome to Mrs Birrell's Year 2 Class
In Year Two, children are able to progress in their independence and their level of responsibility is increased and they are expected to be excellent role models for other children across the school. Our goal is to inspire the children to continue to grow in their love of learning, through building on key skills such as their resilience, determination, curiosity, ambition and problem solving.
Autumn 2019

As readers we will be looking at Journey by Aaron Becker, The Tin Forest and The Dragon Machine by Helen Ward along with non-fiction books about The Great Fire of London.
