Teaching Assistants: Miss Ireland

Year 2 is SUCH an exciting year!  The children have learnt so much already in Year 1 and Reception and now they are ready to fly! 

In our class, we become readers who can decode words in every subject area.  We use our reading skills to help us with Maths, Geography, Science and much more.  We also use our writing skills to record all our many ideas so that other people can read and enjoy them.

We start to learn about spelling rules so that we can build on all of our phonic skills.  There are a lot of rules and we learn especially well by making mistakes and then noticing them so we can improve them.

We work independently, giving our brains lots of thinking practise, and we also work in groups and teams, learning more about sharing and cooperating.  We try to be kind and helpful to each other, and we are proud when we see these kinds of behaviours in our class.

We have some GREAT Year 2 topics, learning about castles and Australia, habitats and Scottish dancing, making wheeled vehicles and moving pictures.

At our classroom door, we have a feelings chart because we think it is very important to talk about how we feel with each other.  It helps us to understand and accept the similarities and differences between us and it helps us to care for each other and for ourselves.

We have lots of new responsibilities including caring for our goldfish, Bruce, and organising our reading folders and homework.  Quite soon, we will be moving into Year 3 and we are determined to be READY!
