The Year 2 team are incredibly proud of the children’s team work, perseverance and ability to build relationships throughout the entirety of the year, as well as the resilience they have shown throughout school closure. We are all very sad to not have the usual end of year celebrations together but each teacher has a message for their class to remember the wonderful year they have had and to say goodbye. We all hope you have the most amazing summer and want to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support throughout the year!
Thank you so much for sharing all of your pictures of children learning at home. It has been wonderful to see what everyone has been up to over the last few months.
To say thank you for such an amazing year, all the Year Two teachers have a gift for you all!! You have worked incredibly hard throughout the year and during the time school was closed, we thought you deserved a special something. Sadly, you are not in school to collect it from your teacher, so we will be giving them to your new Year Three teachers, and they can pass it onto you when you are all back in September! Here is a photo of your special present (it will have your name on!) we hope you like them!
Have the best summer and thank you again for your continued hard work. We will miss you lots. Love from Miss Webb, Miss Derrick, Miss Baird and Mrs Baranowicz 🙂 xx
To encourage children to get outdoors and experience new things, we have created the Avenue Activity Passport with the help of the Department for Education. Over the years, technology has changed virtually every aspect of society. One of the differences that have been most noticeable is the change in the way that children play and interact with each other from previous generations. Although technology does provide many positive benefits for learning, it also can have several negative effects on child development and quality of life. Children need to explore, take risks, question, experiment, discover, sing, dance, and imagine. Activities outdoors or new experiences support children developing these skills and their development both physically and mentally. My Avenue Activity Passport includes a range of activities for children from Nursery to Year 6. Most activities will require some adult supervision. Please scroll down to page 4 for the Year 2 activities.
Below are some English and Maths Home Learning opportunities that you might like to complete over the summer to assist with your child’s transition into Year 3.
Link to United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child
UNCRC:
Article 14 (freedom of thought, belief and
religion) Every child has the right to think and believe what they
choose and also to practise their religion, as long as they are not
stopping other people from enjoying their rights. Governments must
respect the rights and responsibilities of parents to guide their
child as they grow up.
It is important
that we help others, forgive others and show acts of kindness, especially
during these difficult times. We can show kindness by treating each other with
love and respect, without expecting anything in return. The term ‘Good
Samaritan’ today refers to a person who helps others in a random act of
kindness. It originated from the Parable of the Good Samaritan, a story that is
very familiar to Christians. Please share ‘The Good Samaritan’ story with your
child.
