Friday 9th June 2023 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 2
Looking back:
A super week in school. It is so wonderful to have the children and teachers from Elizabethfontain with us. In English we have been exploring Rosie Revere and learning new vocabulary. Maths has been practising all the year 2 curriculum learned so far and the children are retaining their skills. We have begun new topics in Science, RE and History too. We have of course been very busy getting ready for Sports Day. Thank you to everyone that came along to support the children – a fantastic afternoon.
