• The Proudest Blue by Ibtihaj Muhammad

Welcome to Year 2

Summer Term 

Our topic this term is ‘Long ago and Far Away.’ We will learn about the castles to find out who built the first castles in the UK and why and the structure of medieval castles. Our visit to Skipton Castle was our introductory to facilitate this first hand.

As the year 2 will be sitting their SATs test around June, it is essential that children are practising very regularly. Please help your child to do their best by encouraging them to practise at home!

Please see the newsletter in the file below to find out more information about our learning this term!
