Welcome to Year 2's Class Page!
Each half-term, this class page will be updated with information regarding our learning in school.

In English this half-term we will begin by using 'The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark' by Jill Tomlinson to inspire our writing. We will learn to use commas, adverbs and other new writing features to produce non-chronological reports about owls!
We will then explore the poem 'The Owl and the Pussycat' by Edward Lear and we will create our own poems!
