Happy Home Learning
It was fantastic to see you all continue to do some amazing work this week! Some children have even sent in pictures of the brilliant things they have been getting up to - scroll down and have a look!
As it is the Easter Break, there will not be any Home Learning set. Instead, please do engage with the above links - it is Easter time after all, and my thoughts and prayers will be for you and your children, who I miss dearly.

WALT research and create a poster about minibeasts. Either use the minibeast hunt that you did to find out about one that you want to find out more about, or research a minibeast that you are already interested in. Make a colourful poster about this minibeast, writing some facts about it. If you wish, please take a picture of these posters and send them to me – I would love to see your wonderful work! |

What have you been doing for Home Learning?
Wow - you have been in school for two years and are now ready for the next step - to become more independent in your learning!
I am Mr Garsden, the class teacher, and Mrs. Bailey is our wonderful teaching assistant.
Topics
We are going to be learning some very exciting things in Year 2 and I am sure we will have lots of fun and will work very hard.
Here are a list of the topics we will cover throughout the year. So, if you have any items or books at home that you would like to share with us, you could bring them in. Also it may help Mummies and Daddies to plan any days out at home that might link to our topics.
Autumn - Land Ahoy!
Spring - Castles/Street Detectives
Summer - Beachcombers
PE
Our PE day is Thursday. Please remember to have your PE kit in school with your name in!
Homework
Homework will be sent home on a Wednesday in your homework book. Please could homework be returned by the following Monday (feel free to return before then if you have chance to complete it!)
Reading books
The children can change their reading books on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday. They do this independently, although we do keep an eye on them until they are settled into the routine.Those children who read three times or more at home get Class Dojos! After you have listened to your child read please could you sign their reading record.
Spellings
Spellings will be linked to what we are learning in Phonics. They will be sent home on a Tuesday and tested on a Friday.
