Year 2

Welcome to Year 2

Hello Everyone!

We hope this finds you all keeping well and staying safe.

We hope you have been having fun and enjoying this lovely weather.

Let us know if you did something! It is always lovely to hear what you are doing and how you are...If you haven't contacted us we would love to hear from you. Tell us about something you have been doing or learned-it does not have to be to do with school. At this time you will be learning lots of new skills or creating lots of things.

You can contact us at   Year2@cliffordroad.suffolk.sch.uk 

Have you had a go at the History in the bag activity. We are so looking forward to hearing and seeing the ideas that you have come up with. See the details about it in the link below.  Social distancing has been different, unlike anything any of us have experienced before. Are there things about it that you have particularly liked or disliked? Include those ideas in your bag. You may want to include the poem about yourself that we have included for literacy this week. The Maths activities are about turns and describing movement.  Have you tried out any of the Nature Detective activities? If you are able to get out and about with your family these might be activities you might like to try. Keep reading and sharing stories too. 

We hope you have a good Half Term next week. Take a break from school activities!  Enjoy yourselves!

We will not be updating the Year 2 page until the week after next.

  Be well and take good care!

Catch up soon.

Lots of love everyone!

PE and Swimming

PE is on a Wednesday afternoon with Mr Newman. Please make sure that your child has their PE kit in school every week. This should include a t-shirt, shorts and plimsolls or trainers. Please could all jewellery be removed at home.

Children will swim every week in groups on a Tuesday morning when the repairs to the pool have been completed. PE kits will need to be in school on Tuesdays as well so the children can participate in fitness sessions with the Swimming and Dance Coaches. All children will need a swimming costume/trunks, a swimming hat and a towel. Swimming is an important part of the PE curriculum and all children are expected to participate. If your child is unable to swim please provide a note explaining why. Please could all jewellery be removed at home.

Parent helper are welcome but you will need to have a DBS check prior to coming in to help. Please see school office for details.
