• Learning in Year 2

Teacher: Miss James

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Radford

Welcome to Seacole Class!

We are named after Mary Seacole, a brave and determined lady who travelled across the world helping to care for soldiers during war times.  Mary lived more than 150 years ago and she was born in Jamaica. Her mother was Jamaican and her father was Scottish, so Mary was mixed race. We will be learning lots more about her amazing life throughout the year together.

We will also be enjoying some other fantastic topics in Year 2 including learning about Planet Earth, The Great Fire of London, Monarchs, plants, materials, habitats and much more.

We encourage and support the children to read daily both in and out of school. The children will enjoy listening and sharing stories every day in class.  

At South Failsworth Primary School a positive attitude to learning and good behaviour is always celebrated within our classrooms and around school.

Important information

• New spellings will be given out on Fridays and your child will bring home a sheet to practise these on.  Please try and practise these every day at home. The children will then be tested on these words the following Friday.
• Children will be provided with a reading book which will be changed once a week. Books will be changed once they have been read at home and recorded in the Reading Record book. Please ensure your child has their reading book with them every day in school.
• Our PE days are Wednesday and Thursday. The children should come to school in their PE kit on these days.
• If you need to contact us, you can speak to us at the door after school. Alternatively, you can email or call the office who will pass on your message to us and we will get back to you.

Thank you in advance for your support,

Miss James and the Year 2 Team
