My Year 2 Class
Here are the names of the children I've had the pleasure of teaching this past year. They would all be 7 years old now, rising 8 this coming academic year. Where I've picked up siblings' names and ages, I've included these but they're a bit of an education guess! I've put common nicknames that we used in "_".

The double diminution of Flossie > Flo amuses me. I love Flossie as a nickname and am quite delighted by Flossie Iris. Her siblings' names, Pearl Elsie and Daisy Olive, are also charming.

None of the class really stands out to me. There's a few I like (Florence, Daisy, Valentine, Kieran) but most are just meh.However, what on earth is Rillie and Tamaly?
Because I'm pronouncing Rillie very close to "really" and Tamaly the same as "tamale."
If you tell me Rillie is supposed to be pronounced like Riley, I'm gonna be Upset™.
