In Owls, we work hard on embedding our skills from EYFS and Year 1 and further building our stamina and independence before we head into Year 3 and Key Stage 2. We apply our learning through a variety of topics during the year such as getting stuck into the sometimes gory life of early Kings, Queens, and Leaders, journeying to the polar regions of the world in Science, and exploring faiths around the world.

In our lessons, we further develop our oracy skills. We implement, follow and evaluate the skills of being effective speakers and listeners and work on further developing our responses. We work collaboratively with one another, cheer each other on and celebrate our successes. British Values are evident in our classroom, democracy plays an active role in how we operate day today and we all work on demonstrating mutual respect to our peers.

We love our class reading time at the end of every day and the books that we have read, along with 50 other books to read before the end of Year 2, are linked below.
