Welcome to Year 2

Meet the Team

Mrs Malkin     Mrs Rennocks

Mrs Platt      Mrs Peters

In Year 2 we work together to provide a happy and enriching learning environment and have high expectations. We aim to make learning exciting and fun and aim inspire and challenge the children.

During Year 2, we build upon existing skills and concepts.  These are extended by encouraging the children to explore and investigate ideas further as they become increasingly independent in their learning. The children are encouraged to become responsible members of the school and community, by demonstrating our school values being responsible, brave, positive, inclusive and kind.

By the end of Year 2, our aim is for the children to have a smooth transition into KS2 as happy, confident and enthusiastic learners, equipped with the skills and independence needed to continue to develop a love for learning and achieve highly. 

Homework

Homework is given in Year 2 to consolidate and further enhance learning. Each week children are expected to complete the following:

• Daily reading
• Weekly spellings
• Weekly maths homework in their homework book

Class Dojo

Class Dojo is a platform we use for acknowledging positive behaviour, sharing children’s learning and communicating with parents.

Children can earn Dojo points for demonstrating our school values and learning behaviours and this is celebrated in our weekly assembly.  To promote team work and collaboration, a whole class Dojo target is set and when it is achieved the children receive a reward of their choice.  These have included, a pyjama party, a scooter day, a crafts afternoon and a disco.

myHappymind

At Moss Hey we follow myHappymind which is an NHS-backed curriculum for primary schools. It focuses on building resilience, self-esteem, and happiness in children. The lessons and activities contain quizzes, songs, animations and feature lovely characters. The children will complete five modules, Meet Your Brain, Celebrate, Appreciate, Relate and Engage. Each Year group works through the 5 modules allowing for a whole school culture to build Within each module they learn positive habits which they will then use all of the time. The children have journal to records ideas and feelings.
