Year 2 Daily Routines What happens in year 2? The children will always be collected by Miss Morrissy from the playground. They hang their coats and bags on their pegs and file into class. There will always be an activity on the board for them to complete whilst the register is taken and dinners are ordered. After registration the children go into assembly. This is followed by guided reading, phonics and literacy. After play the children will have their numeracy lesson. Foundation subjects are taught in the afternoon.
