Welcome to Class 2!
In our classroom, we aim to create a warm, supportive, and inspiring environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to do their best. Mr Giles and the children in Class 2 work together to make our learning space one where curiosity, creativity, and kindness shine every day.

We are guided by the values of community, compassion, and courage. Community means working as a team, helping one another, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. Compassion reminds us to be thoughtful, kind, and understanding. Courage gives us the confidence to take risks in our learning, try new things, and persevere when challenges arise.

In Class 2 we have a focus on oracy—the ability to speak and listen with confidence and respect. Children are encouraged to share their ideas clearly, listen carefully to others, and develop strong communication skills that will support them both in and beyond the classroom.

Our classroom is a place where children can learn, grow, and flourish together. We are excited about the journey ahead and look forward to sharing our learning along the way.
