Good morning Year 2, I hope you are all ok! 

I am so impressed with the quality of work that you are producing at home and in school. You are making me so proud every day Year 2 with how hard you are working and all the tasks you are completing to a brilliant standard! Your knowledge of 2D shape properties is fabulous and I am very pleased with seeing lots of children's handwriting improving in written tasks. Well done! We are on the countdown to coming back to school now as a whole class, just over a week to go, keep on working hard and trying your best!

I have set up a Year 2 boys vs girls tournament on TTRS that finishes on Friday at 3:15pm! Please log in as often as you can to earn coins for your team!

Below are your lessons for today. Please keep on working hard and trying your best to complete all your tasks to a brilliant standard. Remember to email your work to Year2_Home@st-john.lancs.sch.uk or put it on our school blog. 

Every day, please find time to log onto www.getepic.com/students using our class code to read one of your assigned books or a book of your choice. This is very important as I am using this website to monitor your reading at home.

Also, please log onto Times Table Rock Stars daily to practice your times tables, which will help to up your confidence and speed! This is also a great way to compete against your friends and earn lots of coins for your character!

In your writing book, I would like you to have a go at answering these questions, using words or phrases from the chapter to support your answers.

2. Do you think the children should have told their parents and why?
