Year 2 Home Learning – Tuesday 26th January 2021

Good morning Year 2!

Remember we have a zoom register at 10.20am every morning. It is important you log in to this on time so that we can say good morning to each other, complete an online activity as well as explaining our work for the day. A link for this has been sent to the parent email you have registered at school. Please email us at the Year 2 email address if you need a new link sending to you.
Please bring paper and a pencil/pen to the zoom register.

Please remember to comment on the blog when you have completed your tasks, and to email us your completed work so we can see what you have been doing and support you if needed. Work can be emailed to yeartwo@lingsprimary.org.uk.
Have a great day and we will be waiting for you when we can all go back to school together!

Miss Duncan, Miss Battams and the rest of the Year 2 team.

Think back on a time when you have shown resilience. They may have been in school for example solving a challenging problem or at home like learning to ride a bike.

Draw a picture of this time, write about how you were resilient and how you felt afterwards.

 

Story Time

Today’s story is Aliens in Underpants Save the World read by Miss Battams.
