I still can’t believe how quickly the children have settled into their new classroom and how much enthusiasm and energy they show in each and every lesson. They are coming into school each morning so curious about the new challenges they may face that day and know that by pushing and challenging themselves, they will enjoy their learning more and more.

What a fantastic second week back we have had here in Year 2! The children have fit seamlessly into their new routines and come into every lesson with such focus and enthusiasm. They have also taken on their extra roles of responsibility so sensibly this week, from taking the register to sharpening pencils - you name it, they’re doing it. I know some are already thinking about which job they would like to take on next half term!

What an absolutely amazing start the children have had to their Year 2 journey. It was a joy to see so many smiling, excited faces eagerly waiting for me to open the door to the classroom on Tuesday morning. I can’t believe just how quickly the children have settled into their new surroundings and how well they have taken to their new routine - it’s like they’ve been here forever!

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday filled with laughter, rest and bundles of memory making! I bet it’s hard for many of you to believe (particularly parents) that you will be starting your new adventure in Year Two TOMORROW!

I am very much looking forward to seeing all of your fresh faces in the morning and telling you all about the exciting year of learning we have ahead. Mrs Connolly, your new Year 2 teaching assistant, is also incredibly excited to meet you all.

Just a few notices to keep you up to date in the first week:
