Year 2 - Mr Brown
My name is Mr Brown and I am one of the Year 2 teachers at Crindau Primary School.
I have been teaching for 20 years and have taught in every year group from Nursery to Year 6.
I enjoy playing 5-a-side football, when I'm not injured! I also enjoy watching football; I support Swansea City.
I also like to cook and, even more so, eat nice meals!
Mrs Parker is the teaching assistant in our class and Mr Owen is in the class one morning a week.
In Year 2 we like to have fun whilst we learn! We aim to continue your children's journey into becoming ambitious capable learners; enterprising, creative contributors; ethical, informed citizens and healthy, confident individuals.
We do PE each week, so please ensure your child wears PE kit to school every Thursday.
Book bags are changed every Friday so please make sure book bags are in school by Friday each week.
Pupil Voice
Each term the children have an input into what and how they learn.
During the autumn term, we will be learning all about our school and school dinners.
What you can do at home...
- Listen to your child read. Ask them questions about what they've just read and talk about your own experiences linked to the story. eg. Do you remember when we went to a castle? etc
- Practise spellings weekly
- Notice numbers in the environment. eg. talk about time- how long until dinner, prices in shops (and change given at the till), weight and volume when following a recipe, etc.
- Practise quick fire maths questions. These are relatively simple number facts, like 3 + 5, which children need to learn by heart rather than having to take time to work them out. Other facts include addition and subtraction facts to 20, bonds to 10, doubles to 20.
