Year 2 – Sycamore & Willow
Welcome to Y2’s year group page!
We are very excited to communicate with you the journey that your child is taking throughout 2022 – 2023. We aim to pass on relevant and up to date information, celebrate successes and share the learning that we are doing together in Year 2.
As the children continue their learning journey through Year 2, the children will have the opportunity to build on their newly developed digital skills with their own individual iPad but also enjoy opportunities to be active in their learning; whether that be answering a question, doing some mindfulness breathing exercises, getting outside to complete their learning or simply dashing around a virtual world in a daily brain break!
We hope you enjoy exploring the content of our Year 2 pages and find everything that you are looking for to support your child’s learning journey in Year 2.
