Hello, Year 2 children, parents and guardians,
Following on from the recent school closures, I will be uploading a variety of resources for completing at home over the coming weeks.
I am also aware that some of the younger children are finding the closures of school quite difficult to understand, so please feel free to share this poem with them to help with this. :).
∗ Dear Year 2 ∗
Our school is closing, just for a while,
But our learning will not stop, just change in style.
There’s a very nasty virus which we don’t want you to get,
So it’s best to stay at home, but try not to be upset.
Its O.K. if you feel a little scared or sad,
It’s hard when things are different, but not everything is bad.
I will be at my house, and you will be at yours,
You will carry on with learning, and play and help with chores.
Be sure to write a timetable, of what to do each day,
Include our Maths and English tasks, and don’t forget to play.
Whilst many things are changing, some things will stay the same,
I am still your teacher, and Year 2 is our class name.
We’ll help to support each other, and keep in touch for sure,
Once everything is safe again, we’ll run back through the door.
We’ll be back with our friends again, at school and parties too,
But whilst things are different, i’ll send you lots to do.
Miss Loveday 🙂
Activity Booklets!
Here is a lovely activity booklet that the children can be getting on with! It has got lots of different activities in it from Maths and English to D.T. and Art. It can be printed although this isn’t essential. Children can use a piece of paper and complete the different activities that way.
This next activity booklet is more English and Maths focused. There are lots of different resources included to allow the children to practise their skills.
P.E.
Each day, Joe Wicks is becoming the nation’s P.E. teacher during school closures! He is completing a 30 minute workout every day from 9 am.
Go to You Tube and search The Body Coach TV and the live session will start at 9 am each day. I am also determined to get involved! 🙂
Art
Here are some ideas for your child to practise their Art skills.
Purple Mash
I will continue to set activities for your child to do on Purple Mash. Your child should have their log on details in their planner, but if not, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Times Tables Rockstars!
Another great website for Times Tables! Again, if your child is struggling to log on, please get in touch.
Over the next week, videos to support home learning will be uploaded. Please continue to read every day, practise spellings and handwriting.
But, most of all, have fun and keep safe.
See you all very soon,
Miss Loveday 🙂
