Good morning Year 2,
It was so lovely seeing most of you in our Zoom call yesterday. This has created within us a super excited feeling, as we know we will be able to welcome back many of you for the last week of term.
Yesterday the government shared some exciting news to take another step towards ending lockdown. If you would like to read about these changes there are a couple of good CBBC Newsround articles, which explain the changes to social distancing, playgrounds and cinemas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround

Star of the Day
We have decided to nominate Star of the Day to a few people today, as it was too hard to only choose one child. Our first Star of the Day is Tallulah who put a lot of thought into her puppet reflection, which is included below. Our second and third Stars of the Day are Ella and Grace for having a go at the Tap Up challenge. Well done girls!
Daily Reflection
We have loved hearing from so many of you! The work you are completing is so impressive, you have really stepped up and are trying your best. It looks like you will all be more than ready to become Year Threes in September. Well done!
