Year 2

Welcome to Beech Class! 

A very warm welcome to the Year 2 class page!

We hope you enjoy reading our Connected Curriculum overview for the term, including exploring our home learning activities which are inspired by our Topic.

In Year 2, we love to ‘Fly High and Soar like Eagles’ and we strive to be brave change-makers to make a difference to the world we live in. We enjoy making connections with one another, within our partnership with St Mary’s (Yate), with our past as we learn from those that have gone before us, with our local community and across different subjects to fully immerse ourselves in our learning.

We focus on developing the skills and confidence to speak out as in the words of Greta Thunberg ‘No one is too small to make a difference’.

Our values are at the core of what we do every day and we enjoy talking and learning about these during collective worship.

Miss Pearce is class teacher Mon- Tues and Miss Hurd Wed - Fri.

Miss Oakey is general TA with Mrs Nanda and Miss  Cratchley supporting children with an EHCP. 

Spring Term 2024 Social Justice 

Big Question: Is it fair?

In term 1 and as geographers, we will be comparing Bristol to a city in Uganda. We will explore geographical similarities and differences including climate and vegetation. We will additionally make comparisons between schooling in Africa and the UK. In term 2 and as historians, we will be exploring how children have been treated unfairly in the past, with a focus on the Victorian era. We will focus on the schooling system, using Mary Carpenter and the Bristol Ragged schools reform to compare the rights of children.
