Otters

Good Morning Otters, I will be setting and marking Learning from Home activities over the next few weeks, whilst Miss Brook looks after and works with my Hedgehogs. I am looking forward to seeing what you do.

Miss Hancox 

Welcome to Otters!

Welcome back to the Otters class. All our Otters have been super smart and impressing the grown ups with their learning and behaviour, keep it up! 

Year 2 is an exciting and challenging year! In Year 2 we are always reaching for the stars and we love learning. As the oldest children in our school, we act as role models for younger children and set a good example both in work and in play.  

Come and have a look at all the different things we have been doing...   

Have you seen the Kids’ Zone? Play games and visit some cool websites!

Welcome back everyone. This is a very strange start to the summer term. Our new topic for the Summer term is 'Huddersfield Jigsaw'. This half term the children will learn about Christianity, Islam, and Sikhism. They will consider the way of life for all our communities and beliefs, they will make comparisons with other faiths identifying the similarities and differences between them. They will develop and understanding that the Huddersfield community is made up of many different communities and religions. This topic will link heavily with the British values of tolerance of those with different faiths, beliefs and cultures.
