Cliffdale Primary School

Welcome to Monkey Class!
We’re an excitable group Year 2’s, full of energy and always on the go! Each of us is unique, and we communicate in lots of different ways—whether through words, symbols, actions, or expressions. No matter how we communicate, we have plenty to say, and we make sure our voices are heard.

Movement is a big part of our day. We love running, jumping, and climbing, and our outdoor space gives us the perfect place to play and learn. Soft play is another favourite, where we can jump, slide, and bounce around together. We also enjoy going on trips, especially to places like the gym, where we can move and explore in new ways.

Independence is something we’re working on every day. We’re learning to do more things by ourselves, like getting dressed and brushing our teeth. We’re also building resilience—learning how to share space, work together, and handle the challenges of being in a busy, active classroom.

We love our music and phonics lessons, especially when we get to sing, play instruments, and make lots of noise! Our bucket sessions are another highlight. We’re getting better at watching, joining in, and waiting our turn. One of our favourites is "It’s Raining on You" in Stage 3—it’s always a great moment!

We’re looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year brings, as we continue to develop our friendships, build independence, and enjoy learning together.
