Welcome to Year 2, also known as Rowan class

 
Being the eldest pupils in Key Stage 1 comes the responsibility of setting a good example to those lower down school and demonstrating the Learning Behaviours we aim to develop throughout school, such as resilience, determination, responsibility and collaboration.

As we prepare for the end of Key Stage assessments, pupils in Year 2 learn many new skills in independent and peer learning that will take them through to Key Stage 2.

Our learning is primarily text based, with our class book linked to our Learning Challenges.

Our Learning Challenges include; The Great Fire of London, Africa and a local study of Mexborough. These are just a few!

Year 2 are the first year to learn a musical instrument, with all pupils getting the opportunity to learn the recorder in the Spring and Summer terms.

Rowan Class is an exciting and stimulating place to be where learning is interactive, engaging and most of all fun!
