Ash ClassYear 2 - Mr Noonan
Introductions…
Mr Noonan – Teacher Previously taught in Year 2
Mrs Palmer –Teaching Assistant Many years experience in Year 2. Strong skills in KS1.
Requests…
We provide the children with all equipment necessary to complete
tasks in the school day. Please NO pencil cases.
Year 2 encourages more independence, please ensure your child’s
belongings are clearly named that they can find them themselves.
Our book bags go in the containers outside the classroom. As space is
limited, please ensure your child’s bag is appropriately sized to bring
in essential school belongings. PE bags are stored in the cloakroom.
As the timetable becomes a bit more full in Year 2, it reduces the
amount of time we would have to listen to the children on an
individual basis. Please listen to your child read on a regular basis as
this skill is used a lot throughout Year 2.
Year 2 pupils are expected to…
Organise themselves (as independently as possible) during morning and afternoon.
Be good role models to other children in KS1.
Be responsible for their homework and spellings practice.
Follow the rules set in the classroom, focussing fully.
To be more independent in producing their best quality of work.

A special message to my class…
Hi New Ash Class!
I’ve made a little video for you to tell you just a little bit about Year 2 as well as
some of our topics. There is also a video of me reading a story for you from one
of the new books we will be studying when we come back in September.
I hope you like it. Please excuse my forehead – how come none of you ever told
me how wrinkly my forehead was? I blame Coronavirus (or you guys!)
Can’t wait to see you all in September.
Love Mr N x
