Good afternoon Year 2 and well done for reaching the end of your second week of home learning AND the Easter holidays!

I hope that you have enjoyed the learning set for you so far; I have got lots of exciting activities lined up for after the holidays.

EPIC READING - Let’s keep growing a love of reading over Easter!

I am very excited because I have found a new reading resource for your child to use - Epic Reading. Epic reading can be used online or on the app. It has a huge selection of ebooks, completely free and the best thing is…you can find books using your child’s ZPD level. This is brilliant as it means your child can read books that accurately match their reading level. There are also lots of quizzes to do. It’s super easy to set up, using your email. If you would like to get involved, please email me on l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. I will then link your email to your child’s profile so that you can access the books at home. Miss Hornby has also asked if in the email you send, you can give permission for us to add your email to Texts to Parents; it would be very handy to have your emails saved on our system.

If you are wanting to use this resource, please check back on Monday. Mrs Lyons is going to create a short video explaining how to use the website/app which will be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section and I will send the invites to your emails when I have them.

Here are a few snapshots from the last couple of days of home learning

I hope that you all have the most wonderful break over Easter. Enjoy spending this time with your families and most of all, I hope that you all stay safe.

Online learning will commence on Tuesday 14th April, but don’t forget to check the Holy Week activity sheet to keep your learning ticking over.

Missing you all!

God bless,

Miss Woodend
