Year 2 – Week beginning – 22nd June

Hello Holly and Willow,

A quick message from Mrs Hackney to Willow Class – I have sent you all an email on your new email addresses. Please could you have a look and see if you could use some of the work on there? It’s very exciting 🙂 

We hope you have had a lovely weekend and enjoyed last week’s learning activities. Please also remember to spend time being creative, enjoy the outdoors and most importantly, have fun!

Mrs Hackney and I will take it in turns to upload a video to just say hello and explain the week’s activities. We do honestly love hearing from you, even if it is just once a week to say hello or a photo of what you have been doing. Feel free to either comment on the blog or email us using our email addresses:
miss.shah@wfps.org.uk      or      mrs.hackney@wfps.org.uk

A quick hello from Miss Shah (maths has been changed – see below for new worksheets):
