Hello Year 2. I hope you are all well. Thank you so much for all your hard work this week. I am so proud of you. There are lots of  activities to complete today. In Maths we will celebrate Maths Week England with some fun tasks. Then in English we will find out more about the real Harry and Winnie and ask lots of questions. RWI groups will complete reading and spelling tasks and think about a different character from the Superworm story. There are also some other phonics tasks for everyone to complete - you will practise 'every' which is one of our common Exception Words for Year 2 and revise some of our phonic sounds.

This afternoon, we will think about recycling different materials in Science and then share some ideas in a short Music lesson. At the end of the day, there is another story to share.  This one is about a cat called Mog, as I am still waiting for our new Wrigglesbotttom Primary story book to arrive! 

I can't wait to see what you do today, so please send lots of photos to me at year2@st-jo-st.dudle.sch.uk
