Year 2
Welcome to our Year 2 class page
We are an enthusiastic bunch of happy learners who take pride in our classroom and in everything we do.
The BFS values are important to us and we work together to follow them and be our best!
Mrs Austin is our class teacher and Mrs Djukic supports us with our learning.
Autumn One News
We have had a wonderful first half-term of the new academic year and have grown not only physically but also in our learning and confidence. We have embraced out growth mindset, understanding that every mistake is an opportunity to learn and improve.
In English, we have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Snail and the Whale and The Gingerbread Man. These exciting texts inspired a range of writing activities, helping us to develop our skills as authors. Mrs Austin has particularly enjoyed reading our own versions of The Gingerbread Man, where we creatively changed the characters and events to make the stories our own.
In Maths, we have built on our knowledge of number bonds to 10 by using this understanding to find number bonds to 100. We have also developed our place value skills and explored the properties of both 2D and 3D shapes.
In Art, we have enhanced our drawing skills by using tone and texture to create observational drawings and in Science have investigated what animals, including humans, need to survive and stay healthy.
One of our favourite topics this half term has been History. We enjoyed learning about how Badsey has changed over time and discovering the events that have helped to shape the village we know today.
We ended the half term with a special visit to the church to celebrate Harvest. It was a joyful and thankful service filled with singing and celebration, providing a wonderful way to reflect on all that we have learned and achieved this half term.
We are incredibly proud of all we have accomplished so far and are excited for another term of learning and discovery.

Reading in KS1
At Badsey First School, we value the importance of reading.
It is important that your child reads regularly at home to help them consolidate the phonics skills that they have been learning in school, develop their fluency and support their comprehension. Your child's reading book will be changed once they have read the whole book 3 times.
Reading records and reading books need to be in school each day. When your child reads at school, you will receive feedback in their reading record.
