Welcome to Y2's Home Learning Page
Look!!!!! Our first butterfly has emerged! It's soooooo exciting.
Here are some ideas for writing that you might like to try.
Here's another home learning pack, just incase you needed more activities to keep you busy. I really like the editing exercises at the start and the maths 'Mystery Pictures' colouring tasks towards the end.

Please click on the links below to download Y2's Home Learning Pack (for Maths and English) and guidance. The practical ideas document is brilliant if you fancy something a bit different/more practical.
Please complete the activities in the exercise book that you were sent home with.
You've also been sent home with a Maths Busy Book, some maths problems, a handwriting booklet and two reading books.
For children who are returning to school, please bring your Home Learning books and activities with you as they may be completed at school.
Based on our recent assessments, subtraction seems to be something some of you still find tricky. Why not have a go some at these tasks to help your confidence with this grow?

The document below contains a wide range of bible readings - linking to the liturgical seasons of Lent and Easter. There are questions at the end of each reading to support discussion and understanding of what they have read.
Remember to say your prayers every day and pray for people who are poorly, aswell as asking St Joseph to protect our families, friends and school community.

We have enjoyed doing this (I am Yoga) in class this week - it has helped to keep us nice and calm. Why not try it at home too?
