Good morning everyone and happy Easter to you all! I hope you managed to make the most of it in these troubling times and got to spend some priceless time - whether in person or using technology - with the people who love you the most. God has certainly sent us some wonderful, sunny weather to lift our spirits and lighten our world at this dark time in our lives. Let us be thankful for all the small joys we experience from God each day, whether this be sunshine, fun times at home, tasty chocolate eggs or even the little kind gestures we do for others each and every day. Remember, Jesus teaches us to be like Him, and just as He is the Light of the World, we too must continue to shine our lights in his honour. The smallest flame can illuminate the darkness.

We are up to week 3 of our Home Learning Projects this week. I hope you have enjoyed doing these projects and have really worked hard on them. They are tailored to focus upon revising our Year 2 learning thus far to make sure we remember all of those key concepts whilst we are at home.

I would just like to say, from looking at Classdojo, I am so impressed with how hard lots of you have been working and how you have been challenging yourselves with your learning. I would like to extend another MASSIVE thank you to all the parents and carers who have taken up the challenge of becoming your child’s teacher. Please do know how much we appreciate all of your hard work! :)

Please do KEEP READING! This is of the utmost importance to keep those brains working hard. Read anything you can: books, magazines, websites, comics, newspapers (cautiously!). All reading is valuable. See if your child can write down three things they learned/remembered from what they have read - a good way to check understanding, as well as offering writing opportunities. Also please continue to check http://www.phonicsplay.co.uk and play the games. Pay particular attention to the sound recognition games and blending and segmenting games.
