Kudus

Welcome to Class 2 Kudus

Welcome to Year 2 Kudus! The children in Year 2 at Goudhurst and Kilndown are now at the top of Key Stage 1. The children are encouraged to enjoy learning more independently as they prepare for their transition to KS2.

This year the children who arrive in September as emergent readers and writers often begin to fly with these skills, and we celebrate all achievement, however small. The children take it in turns to begin to take responsibility for important roles within the school, such as being on the School Council, Wellbeing Champions, Science Squad etc as well as specific roles within our class. One of the ways we learn is by speaking and listening  so we have talking partners we sit next to. With our partner we share learning ideas and have conversations about what we are learning, it can really help children to think about what they are learning.

The children are encouraged to develop their views and opinions in Year 2. They will carry out many more tasks without the assistance of adults (such as book changing) and we aim to build positivity and resilience, as well as begin to understand our school values of curiosity, courage, compassion, commitment and kindness.
