Otters
Welcome to Otters!
Welcome back to the Otters class with Mrs Boosey and Miss Lambert. 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...

Summer 1 Home Learning
Yorkshire Yogi Visit
We enjoyed a wonderful visit from the Yorkshire Yogi company on Tuesday 12th February who delivered a yoga session for our children. The children learnt about the history of Yoga, practised lots of yoga positions and took part in some calming relaxation at the end. Some of the Otters were so relaxed they fell asleep!

POWER MATHS
We are trying a new approach to teaching Maths in KS1, this is called Power Maths. This is a whole class, mastery approach that empowers every child to understand and succeed. The characters Flo, Dexter, Astrid, Sparks, and Ash help us learn and develop a growth mindset. Power Maths is helping us build number fluency, confidence and understanding step by step!
