Winshill Village Primary School

Year 2

Welcome from Mrs Dickerson!

Hello, and welcome to the Year 2 class page. I am Mrs Dickerson, and I am thrilled to be teaching Year 2, with the support of Mrs Allen. I have been a teacher here at Winshill for 8 years, however this will be my 22^nd year of teaching all together.

Year 2 is a wonderful stage where children continue to grow in confidence and begin to take more ownership of their learning.

This year we will be covering a wide range of exciting topics, from microhabitats in science, which includes making a wormery, to cooking and nutrition, where we will prepare and make our own healthy wrap. We will also be finding the answers to questions such as ‘Would you rather live in a hot or cold place?’ and ‘How did we learn to fly?’ I’m really looking forward to working with you and your children this year.

Together, we’ll make sure Year 2 is filled with fun, growth, and achievements. Be sure to check this page regularly for updates and celebrations of our learning journey!
