Hi everyone,
We miss you all so much, it seems like so long ago we were all at school and enjoying ourselves. We are so grateful to your parents for continuing the great work at home and to you for trying your best. As always, just do what you can.
Please continue with handwriting and I have attached the year 2 curriculum spelling list that the children can write into sentences, so they are continuing to practice sentence writing, spellings and handwriting.
Your friends at school are enjoying a different topic each week, so we thought you’d like to join in on this too. This week is Italy!

Hi everyone,
We miss you all so much, it seems like so long ago we were all at school and enjoying ourselves. We are so grateful to your parents for continuing the great work at home and to you for trying your best. As always, just do what you can. A big focus in school would now be handwriting so I have attached a handwriting powerpoint to help the children practice. I have also attached the year 2 common exception words, which can be written into sentences practicing their beautiful handwriting (see below). Anything you need please just ask.
Keep up the hard work, we are really missing you!

Continuing with our mini beast topic, this week we would like you to make a bug hotel.
I did this with my little boy Harry and we had so much fun learning outdoors and collecting things we could use for our bug hotel. Here is our example. Have fun!

You can do this by:
Other exciting activities with your bug hotel:

You could then write some instructions to tell us how you made it. To help you do this, please look at https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom
These are a series of videos which are split into 5 lessons. To help you write your instructions, I would like you to watch lesson 3 and this will help you remember what to include in your instructions.
Watch the video and then write your own instructions: How to make a bug hotel.

Week one of home learning completed! Well done everyone (including the parents!) I hope you are all doing your best and listening to your adults at home?
I am really missing you all and teaching you all so much, but we know that staying at home (if possible) is the best for now. For week 2, please continue working through your home learning pack, reading lots, completing tt rockstars and mathletics. I have added new tasks on time and money which is what we started learning about at school.
I would love to hear from you all to see how you are getting on, maybe you could tell me a bit about your favourite book you have read? I would also love to see some pictures of you playing outside, completing your daily exercise or just having fun playing inside.
Please email me on swilson@st-peters.wakefield.sch.uk
Many thanks
Stay safe

Stay safe everyone and keep washing your hands! We’re really going to miss you all while we are having this extra time off. But before long, everything will be back to normal and we will all be together again. In the meantime- behave well at home for your mums, dads or whoever you live with (they won’t like being stuck in the house either!) and if not, Mrs Wilson and Miss Newton will find out!
See you soon.
