Year 2 – Return to school

4th December 2020

Dear Parents/Carers of Year 2 children,

Thank you for supporting your children so well with our online learning offer. We understand that it is tricky, but are delighted with how hard the children have worked.

We are really looking forward to getting back to normality next week.

Everyone is welcome back on the 8th December. We have our fingers crossed that nothing affects this bubble again and hope the children are looking forward to the last few weeks as we build up to Christmas.

It is really important to us that you continue to keep a very careful eye on your child by way of their health. Please do not send them back to school if they are displaying any of the primary Covid 19 symptoms or the secondary symptoms as show on this poster…

Coronavirus_Getting_a_test_and_when_to_isolate_with_booking_a_test_option (1)

Tests are easy to book with results coming through very quickly now. We would rather you aired on the side of caution to avoid any further disruption across school.

If you have any questions, do ring the office who will be more than happy to help.

Friday home learning – Maths

Your child should have received an invite to this session however if not you can ‘join’ the meeting through the Teams app.

Children will need paper and a pen handy for the session.

Following the lesson, the questions on the sheet below should be answered.  You do not need to print this sheet but the children will need to see it so they can work out their answers.

**Please note – we do not expect your child to complete all 5 sheets.  Choose one or two sheets to suit their ability.  The stars at the top of the sheet show the difficulty, with 1 star being the easiest and 5 stars being the hardest**
