Good morning Year 2!  There’s lots of information today so please read this blog post carefully.

IMPORTANT AND EXCITING MESSAGE:

Today a letter will go up on the school website telling you who your teacher will be in Year 3.  Please do read it!  If you are unable to read the letter on the website, then download the school app (details on the website) and you can read it there, too.

On Monday, you won’t get a blog from me.  It will be from your new teacher.  I will blog you again on Tuesday.  I will put Monday’s Maths video and Literacy skills up today so that you have access to it on Monday.

Thank you to those of you who sent me your report comments yesterday.  I haven’t published them on the blog but I can see them, so thank you.  If you haven’t done it yet, you must send me your comments today.  Use the sentences below to help you.

I have enjoyed Year 2 because…

My favourite part of Year 2 was….

I have got better at…

In Year 3 I want to keep working on… I am looking forward to…

Please do this today and write your sentences in a comment on the blog.  I won’t publish it so nobody else will see it.  If you don’t do it, I will write on your report that you didn’t give me a comment (and that wouldn’t look very good!).

Today is your last chance to do this as I will be printing the reports next week.

Good morning Year 2! 

It’s a little bit sunnier today!  I hope that puts you in a good mood, like it did me!

Before you read any further, here is a VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE.  Whilst we were away from school, I was busy writing your end of year reports.  In order to finish them, I need you to write something.  Please write a few sentences to tell me how you have found Year 2.  Here are some sentence starters you might want to use:

I have enjoyed Year 2 because…

My favourite part of Year 2 was….

I have got better at…

In Year 3 I want to keep working on… I am looking forward to…

Please do this today and write your sentences in a comment on the blog.  I won’t publish it so nobody else will see it.  If you don’t do it, I will write on your report that you didn’t give me a comment (and that wouldn’t look very good!).

As Miss Ascough explained in the newsletter on Friday, we won’t be ringing you this week.  Do keep in touch on the blog, though, and we will speak again next week.

Good morning Year 2! 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!  I went to a friend’s garden for a BBQ.  It was a long cycle to get there and we had to keep hiding under a tree when it rained, but it was good to see them!  What did you do this weekend?  Write me a comment to tell me!
