Class 2 - Autumn 2026
Science in Action: Tree Detectives in Year 2
Year 2 were excited to visit our brand-new school library this week. As scientists, the children used non-fiction books to help identify the trees around our school grounds. They carefully observed the features of different trees and used their research skills to discover a Rowan tree and a Horse Chestnut tree. It was fantastic to see the children thinking and working like scientists while making the most of our wonderful new library.
A Fantastic Day of Learning and Discovery! - Cotswold WIldlife Park 2026
Year 2 had a wonderful time on our visit to Cotswold Wildlife Park! From the moment we arrived, the children showed outstanding curiosity, enthusiasm and respect as they explored the park and learned about a wide variety of amazing animals.
Throughout the day, the children embraced every opportunity to discover new facts about animals and their habitats. They asked thoughtful questions, listened carefully to the information shared by staff and demonstrated a real excitement for learning beyond the classroom.
We were incredibly proud of the way the children represented our school. Their excellent behaviour, kindness towards one another and positive attitudes made the trip enjoyable for everyone. It was lovely to see them working together, showing responsibility and supporting each other throughout the day.

Welcome to Class 2!
We are excited to start the new school year together and to build a positive, caring learning environment where every child feels confident to try, learn and grow. In the weeks ahead, we will focus on strong routines, developing key foundational skills across the curriculum and encouraging curiosity through fun, engaging activities. Thank you for your continued support - working together with parents and carers will help make the term both exciting and successful for all our children.
Please see below our Curriculum Map outlining some of the key learning that will take place this half term as well as our Class 2 welcome letter which contains key information about life in Year 2 at Bussage.
