Year 2

Spring 2 2021

WELCOME BACK YEAR 2

We are so excited to have the children back in school. It has been wonderful to see them all together again and they are beginning to settle back in to the class remarkably well. Over the next few weeks our mornings will be spent on our core learning; supporting the children in re-familiarising themselves with our class expectations and rebuilding their independence, confidence and resilience in their work. Our afternoons will focus primarily on their mental health and well being. Our activities may or may not be linked to our text work in this short term, as it was prior to the lockdown, but rather we aim to support the children in feeling safe and happy back in school. We shall continue to keep you informed of what we are covering in school and our Home Learning icons can be selected any time you may wish to access any games or support materials.

Do remember that we are here to answer and questions or help with any worries via email.
