Welcome Back Year 2!

Hello Year 2, Miss Hailey here!

Welcome to the second half of the Summer Term. As you may know, some year groups are returning to school on June 1st. However, not all year groups can just yet and so will need to keep up with all the amazing home learning they have been doing whilst schools have been closed.

School will be a little bit different at first as class sizes need to be smaller, which means some children will be working with different teachers for a little while. Because of this change, your lovely Year 2 teachers Miss Jones and Miss Newport are going to be looking after some of my Year 1 class in school for a little while! So in return I am very excited to be taking over Year 2’s Home Learning on the website. I am so happy I get to do this as many of you were in my class last year, or I worked with you at times when you were in the other Y1 class and I get to see how you are getting on now!

I must admit I have been having a look at the wonderful work posted on the Y2 homework blog over the last few weeks and have enjoyed seeing all the fantastic work and activities you have been up to. So when you complete your work, please keep on posting the work to the blog for me to have a look at. (I am sure Miss Jones and Miss Newport will still be keeping an eye when they have chance too.)

As they will be busy teaching in school, you will be able to contact me via your PurpleMash 2email accounts and I will be happy to help, answer your questions or just say hello!

If Y2 parents would like to contact me directly with any questions, they are welcome to use our year 1 email address which is newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk at any time and I will be happy to help.

Enjoy the half term weekend Year 2.

Miss Hailey :)

Free School Meals Update

The Department for Education have confirmed that it will not be providing Free School Meal vouchers for the May half term holiday week (25th May – 29th May). This will also be the case for any future school holidays as they are not normally provided during these times.

Vouchers have been ordered for next week and will be delivered from Monday (please note this may be later in the week).

We will inform you of how free school meals will be issued after half term once we have more information from the Department for Education or Local Authority.
