Good morning Year 2,

We hope you had a chance to look at the photos of your friends learning on yesterday's blog. You are all doing so well and trying so hard with the tasks you are completing. 

Today's Learning Tasks:

Warm up for learning

Gymnastics coloring printable page for kidsSummer games challenge
Each week the children can take part in the summer games challenge. They will compete against themselves to achieve their personal best score in 60 seconds. When the children have achieved their best score let me know how they did and I will add it to our class score sheet. These will then be uploaded on the website at the end of each week. You have until Friday evening to practice and let me know your best score.
This weeks challenge is the 'Gymnastics' Challenge, click on the link below.
Tuck In, Tuck Out

I will assume that if you share a picture and a score with me that you are happy for this to be shared and uploaded to the summer games website if not please let me know.
