Hi my name is Emily Wilson and I am the Year 2 teacher at Parkside. I started teaching at Parkside recently and I have had such a wonderful time so far! I love teaching in Year 2 because, being at the top of KS1, you get to see the children grow and bloom ready for KS2.
Over the academic year we learn about a variety of different things. Our main topics are Movers and Shakers, Coastline and Magnificent Monarchs. We build on everything that the children learnt in Year 1 to develop their understanding. In English, the Year 2s continue to develop their phonic sounds to become fluent readers and develop a love of reading, as well as writing some beautiful, expressive writing pieces. In maths, the children use their knowledge from Year 1 to apply it to new skills and topics. I particularly love teaching art and enjoy how it allows the children to express themselves and incorporate their personalities into their work. Year 2 is a brilliant year!
