How are you doing? We know that most of you would much prefer to be in school with your teachers, and mainly your friends, but at the moment we can't in order to keep everyone safe. We cannot wait until we can have you all back in class next week! For now, we will resume home learning and it is very similar to the work you completed in the last lock down. You will notice that we have added a 'Wake up, shake up' session to the start of the day followed by TTRS. We thought this would be a good idea to get your body and brain ready for the day!

Hi Year 2!
We are so sad to be back here again, but it's what we need to do to stay safe. We will start sharing our recorded lessons again from tomorrow, so for today, we have a few things you can do. You don't have to do everything, just pick a couple of things which interest you!
Firstly, we have set tasks on Purple Mash for you to complete. You can also use TTRS and Numbots. Please note, Education City has updated and new logins will be issued when you return to school. Click on the icons below to sign in. All of your login details are glued into your reading record.
Below, you will find a document with lots of non-screen activities. Have a look through and see if there's something which interests you.
Next, you have the CGP books we sent out before October half term. Have a look through and have a go at completing some of the questions, looking at topics we have already completed.
If you missed any of the lessons from the last lockdown, scroll down and you can complete them now. This might be Maths, English, Phonics or Non-Core.
Check back in tomorrow and we will have everything back up and running, including the use of e-mails and Padlet. Please note, we will be setting up new Padlets, with new links, which will increase the speed of them. These links will be re-circulated tomorrow.
Speak to you soon!

Hi Year 2!
How are you feeling today? Yesterday we looked at a national day, which you liked, so today we are going to look at a new national day. Today is National I Want You To Be Happy Day! What a perfect day! Right now, it is so different and none of us like it but you have been amazing and, as your teachers, we just want you to be happy! So, we are sending over a big smile to you, because, as Mrs Flanagan always says, 'Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu. When someone smiled at me today, I started smiling too!' How could you make some one happy? What could you do to make someone smile? Remember that today.
2Y, we have our last social session today at 2.30pm and it is a special one, so if you could attend, that would be brilliant!
Make sure you head over to the World Book Day class page to watch Abbey's version of The Masked Reader! We hope you have fun watching all of our silly videos!

Hi Year 2!
How are you today? How did you get on yesterday? Today is National Old Stuff Day which is a day set out to encourage you to try something new. It’s a day to break out of the old routines and experience new ones.
We have all heard the saying, “same old, same old.” Well, this is the day to do things differently. There is no limit to how you can change up your day. Take a moment to recognize the things that you do each day. How could you change it? Could you improve a routine? Maybe it’s just a way to brighten your day or someone else’s day. Whatever it is, strive to make the day new, not the same old day it was yesterday.
Make sure you head over to the World Book Day class page to watch Abbey's version of The Masked Reader! We hope you have fun watching all of our silly videos!

Wednesday 24th February
Hi Year 2!
It's Wednesday! Half way through the week and another 3 days to be amazing before the weekend. How is the school work going now? Are you getting back into it again? It's always tricky at the start of a term to get motivated, especially when you're learning from home!
Remember to find a system that works for you. If you're losing focus, try mixing it up. Change the order of the lessons, go for a walk, run around the garden, play a game, do some exercise.
If you liked doing a bit of exercise to start your day yesterday, here are some more links for today, this time it's Just Dance!

Hi Year 2!
How did you get on yesterday? First day back! I know it was hard for some of you to get back in to work mode yesterday and that's ok. I'll let you into a secret, some of your teachers felt the same too! But you did it, you completed day one! Only 9 more days of learning at home until we are all back together again. Are you excited to be back with all of your friends? We are very much looking forward to having you back in class, safely.
So, today is a new day. Why not start the day with some exercise to wake you up! If you fancy this, here's a link to Wake Up, Shake Up!

Hey year 2!
We hope you are all ok and keeping safe at home. Another great start to the week yesterday, with lots of work being sent in! If you didn't have the best day yesterday, today is a new day and let's make it a brilliant one. I think our quote for today is very important, one positive thought can really change your day. Can you think of something which makes you happy? Something you're thankful for or something which you're looking forward to? Share it with someone else and you might make them feel a little happier too! Remember to smile also, as it not only lifts your mood but the mood of those around you. As Mrs Flanagan always says, 'Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu. Someone smiled at me today, so I started smiling too!'
Have a superb day!

Monday 1st February
Hello year 2!
Pinch, punch, first of the month! It's the first day of February (the month we all struggle to spell) and the first day of our learning for this week. The snow wasn't as dramatic as it was predicted but it certainly looked pretty as it was coming down. What did you get up to this weekend? We have to be a little more creative when trying to think of new ways to entertain ourselves at the moment so I have attached another non-screen activity sheet for you to give you a couple of ideas!
Also, you will see we have a new feature to our Year 2 page. This table gives you the links to each of the videos if you want to find them quickly.

Hi Year 2!
It was lovely to see all of your koalas yesterday where you have used different mark making to show different textures. We were all very impressed with the results from your End of Unit Check in Maths. It shows, hard work pays off and you are all working so hard. Your teacher pleaser machines are brilliant! You are making us smile with the additions you have made to please your teachers! Well done!
You will see, our quote today is from the film Inside Out. If you haven't seen it before, it's all about your emotions and what goes on inside your head. Right now, it's important to listen to how we are feeling and remember that it is ok to feel a little unusual. As Joy is saying here, what you need to think about now is, how do we turn things around to turn a negative into a positive?
You are all (parents and children) doing a brilliant job!
