⚡ Welcome to SUPER Swifts!

Dear Parents and Carers,

A huge welcome to our Year 2 – SUPER Swifts class page! We are so excited to begin another fantastic year of learning, growing and achieving together.

Here you’ll find key information about our topics, classroom routines and what life in Year 2 looks like. This is such an important year — children build independence, deepen their confidence and really begin to shine as learners.

If you ever have any questions or need support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am very much looking forward to working closely with you this year. Your child is going to absolutely LOVE being part of the SUPER Swifts!

💬 Communication & Celebrations

We use Class Dojo to award reward points and celebrate positive behaviour, effort and achievements. Stories are shared each day with photos of the fantastic learning happening in our classroom, so you can see your child in action. Please check regularly to stay connected and celebrate their successes with them.

Year 2 is a year where children truly begin to spread their wings — becoming confident, capable and proud of their progress. Thank you for your continued support. Together, we’ll make this a super year for our SUPER Swifts! ⚡🕊✨
