Welcome to Year 2
The Year 2 class is led by Mrs Bradley, Class Teacher, and Mrs McClearn, Teaching Assistant. Mrs Bradley has been teaching Year 2 at Forest for the past six years and finds great joy in working with this age group. She loves how inquisitive the children are and takes pride in watching them grow throughout the year, preparing them for their continued journey into Upper School.
Alongside their class teachers, the children benefit from lessons with specialist teachers in French, Music, Art, PE and Games. These passionate subject experts bring excitement to the classroom, inspiring a genuine love for learning in each area.
In Year 2, children build their independence both academically and in everyday life skills. For instance, there’s a “tie and top button challenge” in the spring term, encouraging children to master self-care tasks. They also develop critical thinking and are encouraged to reflect on their academic progress, social interactions, and emotional well-being. By setting personal goals and embracing a positive growth mindset, they prepare for the increased demands of Year 3.
