Year 2 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Year 2

Well done to all those children who have been working hard at home.

I am missing you all loads

We have earned a badge on Epic! - 1000 books read, keep it up!

I am pleased to see that most of you have managed to sign up to class dojo.  There are lots of photos and videos on there.  If you are still not connected then please check your e-mails or ring the school office.

We are changing the home learning slightly and if you have children in different year groups you will notice that the formats will be very similar. 

We are using Oak Academy for English and Foundation subjects and BBC Bitesize Daily lessons for Maths.  These are government recommended lessons and they are very good.  If you have any problems then please get in touch via class dojo.  I will put a daily plan for each day with the links.
