Hi everyone,
Well, we’ve come to the end of one of the most unusual half terms we’ve ever experienced. I do hope you have found some joy in this difficult period and found the time to relax and have fun with your family. To all of you who are key workers, the whole Year 2 team would like to express our sincerest gratitude at your selfless sacrifices in keeping us safe and keeping the country running. We would also like to thank all the parents for the wonderful job you are doing in supporting your children’s learning at home. I have loved hearing and seeing all the wonderful things you have been doing - especially those activities such as model making, planting, cooking and exercising. These are all important aspects of learning!
As you are all aware, Holy Week begins this Sunday with what would be our Palm Sunday service in Church. As this also marks the beginning of our Easter Holidays, I will not be setting a Home Learning Project this week. Instead, I have attached a pack of Easter home learning resources for you to have a go at during the break. Please do not feel that you have to complete the whole pack, pick and choose what you would like. However, it would be lovely if each of you could have a go at at least one of the following:
Design and create your own Easter garden.
Design and create your own Easter bonnet.
Design and colour an Easter egg - you could do this on paper or with a REAL hard-boiled egg. Could you make this into a character from the Easter story?
Write your own Easter prayer.
Perhaps plan your own garden Easter egg hunt by making clues for your family to solve.
Create a comic strip for one part (or more!) of the Easter story.
Feel free to send me your pictures via Classdojo of your work , however, I will not be checking my accounts during the holidays until Tuesday 14th April.
Download the Easter Home Learning Pack here.
Finally, Fr Jim at Our Lady of the Assumption Church has created a website for the children in our school. This will feature weekly videos, activity sheets and age-appropriate links to each Mass’ focus. Please give it a visit as Fr Jim is working very hard on it. https://www.olablackpool.org/children-s-page
Have a restful and safe Easter and take care.
Mr Whetnall, Mrs Bowdell and Mrs Debowska.
Last but not least, here is our Home Learners Gallery of the Week for this week…
