Hello year two, we hope you are staying safe and keeping busy. Thank you so much for the toilet roll video it really made us smile. 

We know that you are missing your friends we are too and most of all we are missing you. Hopefully, we will be back together again soon but until then we have some more tasks, we need you to complete over the next two weeks. Just like the last activities we need you to complete two tasks a day and keep up with the daily five activities to make sure you are keeping busy. 

It has been lovely to keep in touch with you using the learning conversations on HWB. For those of you who have not had a chance to access the learning conversations yet,

Homework for Year Two

Hello year two, we hope you have all enjoyed the Easter holidays and have been able to enjoy some of the lovely sunshine we have had. We are missing you lots and are hoping that we can all be together again soon. Until then, we will be setting you some homework to do each day.

Please use the same rules that we follow in class. Take your time to read the homework carefully. Remember to write or draw your work neatly in your book. Always use the think it, say it, write it, read it back rule to make sure you have not missed anything out or made any mistakes. If using the computer, save your work using a sensible name. Always try your best.

In the homework grid are two activities for you to try to complete each day. Most are tasks that you can finish the same day. However, there are a few that either follow on to the next day, or to the next week.

You have all been given your HWB and My Maths user names and passwords, but if you are having difficulty please e-mail us on         maesycoedprimary82@gmail.com

Sometimes you will record your work in the book we provided, or on HWB using Jit 5. Please remember to save your work.

We would also like you to try to do the ‘Daily Five’ activities if possible. These are reading, maths practise, keep fit, being creative and celebrating something you have done well.

Our Techniquest Trip

On our recent trip to Techniquest we learnt about ourselves as our topic is 'All About Me'. We saw a show which was all about exploring our bodies. We then had a lot of fun exploring all the science projects around Techniquest. Take a look at our photos below and on the link.
