Welcome To Our Year Two Class Page - Mr Sutcliffe
Welcome Back!
A warm welcome back to the second half of the Spring Term of Year Two. We hope you and your families have enjoyed a lovely February half term break. Lent is a very special time at school as we prepare for Easter. The children will be working towards a Stations of the Cross display to be displayed for the whole school to see and help their understanding of a stage of Jesus's journey to his crucifixion.
Please take time to look at Twitter / X where we will show you the learning and experiences taking place. Please do not hesitate to contact us on info@stjohnsrc.net should you have any queries.
