Welcome to Year 2
Mrs Gander and Miss Wood welcome you to class 2 for an exciting year learning together.
We will be finding out about new topics and learning new skills throughout the year.
As you are now top of the infants you will be the role models for the Year 1 and new children starting our school, showing them how we play, learn and care for each other at St Joseph the Worker.
Below are some really useful, interactive games that the children can access at home with your support.
