Good morning Class 2!

Welcome to your second week of Home learning. I hope that you are all well and safe. The weather last week was amazing, so I really hope that you were able to make the most of it and were outside in your garden a lot!

Can I please say a massive thank you to those of you who have emailed me updates of the learning which you did last week. Some of you even sent pictures through. It has been amazing to hear all of the different activities which some of you have done. Please do keep sending me some updates, I can’t wait to hear what you get up to this week.

This week’s home learning is set up different to last week. This is a whole school approach which we will be using during the following weeks which we are having to work at home. Instead of there being different documents for you to click on, all of the learning will be stored onto one document. Inside this document the learning will focus around Maths, Literacy and Phonics. There is also different learning projects which you can pick and choose which ones to complete throughout the week.

If your child is in Year 2 and they are a free reader, they do not need to complete the Phonics tasks. They are more than welcome to if they like, but that task is put in there for those children in Year 1 to complete as well as children in Year 2 who need a bit of a Phonics boost. I have put in the link for the Ruth Miskin videos once again in the document. However, if your child would rather learn Phonics differently, I have put in some suggested sounds for them to focus on and they can practise these sounds on the websites I have provided.

Please do keep giving me updates on how you are getting on, I can’t wait to hear from you. I hope this week goes well for you all and that you stay safe and well. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions at all. My email is Class2@bicton.shropshire.sch.uk

Take care!

Hello!

I hope that you are all well! It has been a crazy few weeks hasn’t it!

I just wanted to use this post as a chance to help explain how each week will work. I would firstly just like to make it clear that I totally appreciate that each of you have totally different situations going on, so if your child is not able to complete the suggested tasks each week, then please do not worry in the slightest. If your child is able to complete the activities, then that would be amazing! The links are posted at the bottom of this post.

All of the tasks for the children to complete at home will be put on the “Class 2” page on the school website. This will be updated each week.

In a purple file I have given each child a blank book for them to complete some of the activities in. Please can your child write the date for each piece of work which they complete in their book? There are also a few reading books which your child has been given to read during the time that we are off. For those children who have not been given a purple folder on Friday, these have been placed in the Reception area of the school and ready for you to collect..

There has been a list sent out to all parents with suggested websites to go on. I will put some website/game links at the very bottom of the documents for further support.

I really do wish you all very good health. It has been fantastic to have the privilege to teach every child in the class. I really am so proud of how much each of them has progressed so much in such a short space of time. I really hope they will be able to be back in the classroom very soon!

If you have any questions then please feel free to contact me. I will reply as quickly as I can. My email address is Class2@Bicton.shropshire.sch.uk

Very best wishes,

Mr Taylor
