Year 2 - A

Welcome to Year 2. We Are the ‘Ambitious A’s’. I am Miss Harrison and I am the class teacher.

 

As our time in Year 2 draws to a close, let’s reflect with pride upon the amazing year we have had. What’s been your favourite learning this year? What’s something you’ve achieved this year that you never thought you would? Whatever your answer is to these questions, just know that as your class teacher, I am immensely proud of you!

 

Back in September, together we set out our goals for a successful year together and now we move into our final half term, it is fair to say that we haven’t just achieved them, we’ve absolutely smashed them! We have worked together and supported one another throughout the year. We’ve made new friends, overcome challenges, developed our independence and most importantly been a credit to our school.

 

So as we head closer to the (much-deserved) summer holidays, I know you will continue to apply 100% effort to all of your learning and together we can enjoy a fantastic final 7 weeks as Miss Harrison’s Year 2 class.

 

On your marks, get set, GO!
