Welcome Back Year 2

It has been wonderful to welcome all of the children back to school this week. They have all settled back in really well and we are incredibly proud of them all.

This week, we will continue with our project ‘Me and You’ where we will be thinking about different viewpoints and different time periods. In English, this week we will be comparing viewpoints in our persuasive writing to The Enormous Crocodile. Next week, we will be exploring differing viewpoints by looking at the stories by Anthony Browne. In history, we have begun learning about the Queen of our time, Queen Elizabeth II, and we will later compare her lifetime with that of Queen Victoria.
