Remembrance Day

By

Good morning Year 2, 

As we already know, today is remembrance day. At 11am we will be having a minute of silence to show our respect for those who served in the war. 

Here are the amazing poppies we made in class that have been displayed in Tesco. Have you seen yours?

Who can remember why the colours red, black and green were important? 

A bonus point if you can remember why a poppy is the chosen flower for remembrance day!

    Red is blood, black is death and green is new life.

    Poppies were chosen because they were the first flowers to grow after the war.

    The red is for blood, the black is for death, and the green is for new life.
    The poppy was chosen because it was the first flower to grow in the battle field after the war.

New Start

Hello, my lovely new Year 2 class!  Thank you all for making my first week back in school so brilliant. This week we have been learning all about writing questions, and in maths we have done some fantastic work on subtracting, number bonds and telling the time.  If you can't be in school, we have some packs of work here for you to collect so that you can keep busy at home. Remember to keep checking this blog throughout the year... Miss Healey 🌈

Wonderful Wednesday!

By
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 🌈
