Welcome to the Year 2 page of our school website. Here you can find information about what your child is learning about in school.

The Year 2 teacher is Mrs Martin. The Teaching Assistants are Mrs McGahey and Mrs Hassan. 

The curriculum newsletter is updated each term and will tell you what your child is doing in a range of subjects and how you can support them at home.

Our PE day is Monday, and children should come to school in their PE kit on this day.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of the team.

Maths

Times Tables Rock Stars

We subscribe to TTRS so your children can have daily access at home and at school to this fantastic times tables resource.  There are a wide range of different game types for the children to explore whilst developing their times tables knowledge and fluency.  In the background, the site learns the areas your child might be finding more challenging and exposes them to more questions in these tables to help them improve.  We would recommend around 5-10 minutes practice per day.   If your child has forgotten their login, we can provide a copy.
