Week Beginning 27th April 2020 

Messages

Good morning to all the children in Green and Purple Class.

We hope you are all keeping well through this difficult time of not being able to come to school and see all your friends and teachers.  We miss you all very much and we're happy to know that we are all still able to keep in touch by sending messages, pictures and work that you have been doing at home.  

Lots of you have been able to send your work in to school.  We have looked at all the lovely stories, maths work, reading activities and pictures that you're sending in and its been great to see them.  Do keep sending any of the lovely work  you've been doing because it is a great way for us to see how well you are remembering all that you've learnt so far in Year 2.

Do look out for our weekly message to you and remember you can send a message to us too as we would love to hear from you all!
