Our PE this half-term has been focussing on a variety of different multi-skills. The children were practising their kicking and striking skills, setting up comes and footballs to help them. They were also focusing on their rolling skills using hoops and cones. They worked together in teams and completed the activities in groups, listening well together.

Autumn Term Week 1
Welcome back to Year 2. It has been lovely to see everyone and catch up with what you have all been up to over the summer. We have had a busy day recapping the school and classroom rules, completing our own class charter, talking about how to be safe online, as well as setting up our English and maths books and reviewing how to present our work neatly. We are now all ready to start our learning next week!
