Thank you to our Year 2 Parents and Carers!
Now that we are half way through the school year, we would like to extend our sincere thanks for your support and contributions towards the many wonderful experiences our Year 2 children have benefited from this year so far. We know that enriching experiences in primary school play a vital role in inspiring curiosity, broadening horizons, and nurturing essential skills, helping children make meaningful connections between their learning and potential future careers.
From school visits to visitors and workshops, your involvement has helped create lasting memories and valuable learning opportunities for our children. The children have enjoyed a range of enriching experiences including a visit to Hardwick Park and to St. Mary’s Church to find out about Christianity, Spanish taster sessions with Lingotots, English Cafes, workshops with Adam Bushnell (our local author and storyteller), Peter Pan Pantomime at East Durham College, Chartwell’s Healthy Eating workshop, Go Well Sport’s Festival and Dogs Trust workshops. Your support has made these enriching experiences possible and have been invaluable in broadening our children’s learning. Take a look at our class webpages to see how much our children enjoy these experiences
We truly appreciate your time, generosity, and encouragement. Thank you for being such an integral part of our school family! With your continued support we look forward to the experiences we have planned for our children during the rest of this school year.
