Welcome back to Term 6! We are really excited that we will be seeing the Year 1 children soon and hope that our term will run as smoothly as possible under the circumstances. We will continue to post work for Year 2 children on our class web page and look forward to seeing the Year 2 work on Seesaw as before.
Please can we remind you that we cannot operate our usual "open door" policy at present, but that we are very happy to answer questions via email or phone.
Home Learning
We understand that this is an unsettling time and we hope having access to these ideas may help you create a sense of routine and support your child’s learning. Equally we are aware that people have caring commitments and that every family will be doing their best day by day and as such, not every activity may be completed.
If you would like to use them at home our usual prayers can be found here:

Good Morning everyone! Well done, you have managed a whole term of home learning. We have missed you very much at school, but have been so proud of everything you have done this term.

Can you guess my number? I have given you clues to work it out. Can you write or tell someone clues to guess your chose number?
RE/ Science/ Project
We have been thinking about Shakespeare this week. Shakespeare did not use a computer or a pencil or pen to write. He probably used a quill, a feather cut to a point at one end, and then dipped in ink! I think it would have been very tricky to write like this! You can have a go at making a paper quill with this template.
Our project next term is called "A Window on the World". We are going to be looking at different countries around the world. We would like you to find out about a country. It could be somewhere you have been on holiday, somewhere a family member was born or simply a country you are interested in. You can present it in any way that you fancy, as a poster, scrap book or leaflet for example. It could show pictures, information, maps, recipes, costume etc all about this country. Upload it on to Seesaw so we can share it!
