Year 2

Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

week commencing 30.03.20

We hope that you’re all well and that you’re all managing this new way of working and keeping safe. We wanted to say how proud we all are of the children - they coped excellently last week with this unprecedented situation.

Home learning is a new way of doing things for everyone and we all are trying to adapt as best we can. We understand first-hand how difficult it is to home school children and work at the same time so please do not feel under any pressure to complete all of our suggested activities. These are just a guide for you and your children to follow, to give you some structure to your day. On some of the activities we have asked parents to email in a picture of the work children have completed. If you would like to do this, please can you make sure that this is just a picture of the work and does not include the children in it.

We are all missing the children terribly and thinking of you all and your families at this very difficult time.

Take care and stay safe.

The Year 2 Team

Dear Children,

We hope you are all ok and that you are being the best that you can be at home. We miss you all so much and hope you are enjoying doing the work we have set for you to do at home. We now have a special email address that your parents can send pictures of your work to. As much as we would like to see you, we only want to see your beautiful handwriting and photographs. Please be kind to your adults and be patient if they are working hard too. We look forward to reading your letters and finding out what you have been up to.

From all your Year 2 Teachers
