Year 2 2025-2026
Mrs Barton
I can't quite believe that we are already in Autumn 2! We have lots planned over this half term including starting our new History topic 'The Great Fire of London' and of course lots of Christmas activities. We will be working on our Christmas performance of 'A Midwife Crisis' aswell as getting excited to go on our whole school trip to a pantomime.
