Good morning Year 2,
We hope you had a good weekend. Did any of you go anywhere where you have not been for a long time? My family and I had a wonderful time, we watched my daughter take part in a football game and enjoyed a delicious BBQ at my mum and dad's house.
Many of us will be back to school next week, but do not worry if you are not. Our daily home learning blog will continue and emails will be responded to in the evenings. At the end of today's blog I have included some preparation guidance for those of you who are returning to school next week.
Please keep in touch with us to share what you enjoyed doing over the weekend and to show us your marvelous home learning. Our email address is year.2@ctk.education.

A sentence structure refers to using short sentences and long sentences known as 'complex'. Complex sentences are lengthened through words such as and, or, but, for, nor, yet, so.
Non-fiction text - what
is on the cover of the book? What does this tell you about the content inside?

Returning to School
If you are going back to school next week, it is time to start
preparing for this. School is a very different place right now. Hand hygiene and
cleaning has increased, ‘bubbles’ have been created so you only mix with
children in your group, the playground is organised into zoned play areas and a
one way system around the school has been introduced to help minimise contact.
Please find time during the week to prepare in the following
ways:
- Practice standing 2 meters apart from someone else, as this is how far apart we will need to be away from each other where possible. When your parents/carers collect you they will also need to stand this far apart.
- Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds because once we return we will need to wash our hands hourly. Here is a guide on how to wash your hands properly https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/best-way-to-wash-your-hands/
- Things to know:
- You will be put in a bubble with up to 15 other
Year 2 children.
- There will be two Year 2 bubbles one led by Mrs Triggs and the other led by myself (Mrs Leaker).
- Your bubble will spend play time and lunchtimes
in a zoned area of the playground, you will be unable to play with children who
are in other bubbles. As the playground is split into zones there is no longer access
to climbing apparatus, running track and the football pitch.
- The equipment you use in class should be used by
other children in your bubble.
Star of the Day
Our Star of the Day is Josiah, because we are so impressed with his superhero story. He is taking time to write neatly and carefully think about what he is writing with the correct punctuation. Well done!
Daily Reflection
Good afternoon Year 2. We hope you have enjoyed trying to figure out what a Quangle Wangle is, it sounds like quite an unusual poem. If you are finding it harder to feel motivated enough to get through our daily tasks, please focus on the reading as a priority and have fun exploring our creative tasks when they feature.
