To spread your wings, and go.
So hold your head up proudly,
We know that you’ll go far.
You’ll be a shining beacon,
Just being who you are!
Keep believing achieving and succeeding!

You can draw a picture or take a photograph to attach to your sheet (or record it in your red book). I wonder who will complete all of the 30 activities and claim the title of being #wildest?

In the current climate our children are using the internet to access many wonderfully informative resources to support their learning. However, it is so important to make sure that the sites being accessed are safe. With this is mind, I have attached a link below to a fantastic FREE resource you can use with your child called Think U Know where you can watch a series of animations, with Jessie and her friends, which aim to give 4-7 year olds knowledge, skills and the confidence to help them respond safely to risks they may encounter online. Although we have already covered this in class, it will be a great recap for your child as well as an update for yourself.

Hello Year 2!
I do hope you have had a fun time hunting for eggs and enjoying the lovely weather we have had. We are very fortunate indeed to live in such a beautiful part of the country. I have enjoyed seeing some of you when I have been out getting my daily exercise. Congratulations to you all on the great job you are all doing by staying home and staying safe!
I have attached a timetable for you to follow this week. The maths can be accessed online just click on the link and follow Week 1. If you can't print off the activity, please just record the work in your red book.
If you have any issues at all please just contact the school and I will support you in the best way that I can.
I am hoping the children can practice the spelling rules they have learned so far. You can access this through Oxford Owl. They have created a home learning support tool for you and your child to use at home. You will all be sent an email this week with a username, password and instructions on how to access this amazing resource.
There are also lots of fun learning and activities available on BBC Bitesize, just click on this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize

Don't forget to join Joe Wickes for his daily PE sessions each morning at 9 am on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v-a_dpwhro
I can't wait to here all about your fitness and see the results when school resumes.
Your challenge is to design a routine for your family to follow. Use your red writing book to write down the routine and perhaps we can use it as a warm up in our PE lesson. Good luck and keep fit!
Today's challenge is to have a look at the different Zoo cameras and choose an animal to research. There are 12 on this link https://www.countryliving.com/uk/wildlife/countryside/g31784857/live-animal-webcam-zoo/
Write your findings in your red book. I am looking forward to reading your research. Remember to have fun!
