Primrose Hill Primary School

Welcome to Year 2 at Primrose Hill Primary School! We’re looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, discovery and new experiences. In Year 2, children will build on what they learnt in Year 1, grow in confidence and become more independent in their learning. We aim to create a warm, supportive and inclusive classroom where every child feels valued, feels confident to try new things and is encouraged to do their very best. We look forward to working with you to make this a happy, successful and memorable year for your child.

Classes in year 2 : Starlings and Kingfishers.

Starlings : Miss Wickens

Kingfishers: Miss Cabuderra

Miss Rather and Miss Campbell support children across both classes.

We’re all looking forward to getting to know you and your child this year.

Our Year 2 curriculum newsletters give families a peek at what Starlings and Kingfishers will be learning and how you can support your child at home.

We’ll share a new newsletter on this page each half term. It will highlight the topics and key skills we’ll be teaching, share simple ideas for learning at home and keep you up to date with important dates, reminders and class celebrations.

For a fuller picture of what children learn in each subject, please visit the Curriculum page.    

Please check this page regularly for updates.

We ask that children read for 20 minutes every day to build their confidence and develop a love of reading. When you can, take a few minutes to chat with your child about what they’ve read. You could ask them about their favourite part or what they think might happen next.

Reading books are changed once a week by your child’s phonics teacher. Please make sure your child brings their reading book and reading record to school every day.

Homework is sent home each half term to help children practise what they’ve learnt in class. 

Our half-termly newsletters will also show you what your child will be learning and share simple ways to support them at home.

Thank you for helping us build a love of reading and learning in Year 2!
