This week, Year 2 gathered in the main hall for a very special event: our Year 2 Booknic! The hall was transformed into a reading haven, complete with mats and piles of wonderful stories.

The children brought along their favorite books and spent a delightful afternoon diving into fantastic adventures and sharing tales with friends. It was wonderful to see the hall filled with quiet giggles, shared smiles, and captivated young readers.

Reading is at the heart of everything we do in Year 2. Events like our Booknic remind us that reading is not just an essential skill for learning, but a lifelong source of joy and imagination. Opening a book builds empathy, expands vocabulary, and lets children explore brand-new worlds.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Booknic such a joyful success!

Welcome back to a brand-new school year! Our Year 2 classroom has been buzzing with excitement all week as the children have settled brilliantly into their new routines. It has been wonderful to see so many smiling faces, reconnecting with old friends and warmly welcoming new ones.

The children have worked so hard to learn our new class expectations, showing super listening skills and fantastic teamwork from day one. To celebrate such a successful first week, we headed outside into the hall for some fun group ball games! As you can see in the photos below, everyone had a brilliant time practising their throwing, catching, and passing skills while cheering each other on.

We are so proud of how mature and enthusiastic our new Year 2s have been this week. Thank you for all your support at home—it is going to be a fantastic year!
