Dear Parents,
Thank you for all your support while we have had so much illness in Year two -both teachers and children. We have tried to keep the learning running as smoothly as possible. Next week, is half term so these fun tasks are for the holiday. Hopefully you will have time to have a go and reinforce the learning we have completed at school along the way!
READING - daily
The only thing I could do when I was poorly in bed was read - I’m sure it helped me get better. Please read together and listen to your child. Talk about new words and what the author is communicating through their phasing.
SCIENCE -
1 Plan and make a meal
We have explored what we need to do to lead a healthy and happy life. Please watch the film below together. Can you work with your child to plan and make a healthy family meal - take pictures and send them to Mrs Hotchkiss to share and display.
2 Plan a healthy day out
We have also explored exercise - observing how it makes us feel! Can you plan a family outing which involves lots of exercise: A long walk on the beach, conquer a mountain, go swimming - the choice is yours. Again send pictures to Mrs Hotchkiss to share and display.
3 Plan to relax and have fun
It is important to have calm fun time with those we love. Plan activities that are fun and make you feel relaxed. Play board games, dance to your favourite songs with family or watch a movie together. Once again send pictures.

RELIGION - Making your Easter box
During the holiday it will be Shrove Tuesday followed by Ash Wednesday. On this special Wednesday we all go to church to celebrate the beginning of Lent. During Lent we try to bring three things to the forefront of our lives:
Prayer
Fasting
Alms Giving
For our youngest children we focus on Alms Giving and choosing to do more acts of kindness each day. In addition, we try to give 5 mins a day to God - prayer and sometimes to just listen. At our Lady’s we have a tradition of making and swapping Lenten boxes. Once again we ask the children to make a money box for their special learning partner in Year 5.
Make your box out of an old container ( e.g: Pringles tube; margarine tub). Decorate the box with the theme of Easter. Once back at school we will swap the containers and you will bring your new one (from your Year 5 partner) home. Once you have your box, complete acts of kindness for small donations- from family and friends.
Have a lovely holiday
