Year 2 Blog

Wow year 2, I have been SO impressed with the work you have completed today.  You have shown  perseverance  and independence ! We have had lots of our shells in our tub and so many table points. Why don't you tell someone at home what we are going to do when we fill the shells again?  Can you tell them about something you have learned today?  Don't forget, our spellings this week are:  yawn, floor, leaf, sailor, door, dolphin As always, if you leave a comment, you can have a table point!  Any parents wishing to speak to Miss Healey about settling in reports can email year2@stjohnmark.co.uk if you would like to arrange a phone call.  Thanks for a great day! Miss Healey 🌈

Hello Year 2,  I am so excited to see you again tomorrow! I hope you are looking forward to coming back in. Well done for completing so much work at home, I am proud of your efforts.  Here are some pieces of work that I have seen in the past week, can you see yours? 

Good morning Year 2, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and stayed safe at home.  Assembly Mrs Gracey and the nursery children have made an assembly for the school to share today.  To see the assembly at home, go to  https://nearpod.com/student/  and enter this code:  SQ75F Phonics At school, we like playing  Capital Letter Bingo.  Have a play of the game with someone at home.  1. Choose 3 capital letters and write them down. Keep them secret! 2. Ask a grown up to say the names of different capital letters 3. Circle a letter when it is said 4. Shout  BINGO  when all your letters are circled.  5. Swap - the grown up can write 3 secret letters. You then say different capital letter names. Do you know the names for all of them? Maths First, can you name each of the shapes below?  Then, can you see anything the same between any of the shapes?  Also, which of these coins do you recognise? How much is each coin worth? How many of these coins do you have at home right now?

Hello Year 2,  As you know, it is very important to stay active, especially when you are at home for a long time. We love doing PE in school and I think you will all enjoy my challenge!  Have a look at this website and do the challenge. You will need 4 pairs of socks (or something else) on your floor. See how many times you can touch them when you copy the video for 1 minute.  PE Challenge Video Comment when you have had a go and let me know how many you scored!  I managed to score 17. Can you see what I was touching instead of socks? Our new phonics pens have arrived - hooray!  Miss Healey
