Class Homework
Dear Heather Class, parents and children,
Well, another school year has passed and we are at the end of our journey in year 2 and the KS1 department. We shall all join again in a few weeks time, on Monday 7th September, in our new class in KS2. We are lucky to be taking the big step together into year 3 and this will be lovely to be able to continue with your children.
The Summer Reading Challenge has started and is all on line this year. Please follow the link for your child to join. https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/parents-carers
Please have a safe and enjoyable summer holiday. Keep smiling and working on all the positives and lovely things. Take a breath and step back. Have a few lazy days. Go on lovely long walks and enjoy the outdoors.
Take care,
Miss Eddy x

A suggested day may look like this between 9am and 3.15pm...
It may be best for your household if you try to get into a routine each week day with some school work, as you don't want to get bored just playing and watching tv all day long! Encourage your children to get showered, dressed and have breakfast, as usual. If you feel you can't cope with the school work and juggling home life, then just do what you can. We are all finding this difficult. Don't feel that you are failing, you aren't. Keep strong, which ever way you can and try to smile.

Perhaps you would like to start with PE/fitness with Joe Wicks each morning, live between 9 - 9.30am or catch up during the day https://youtu.be/Rz0go1pTda8

Or if you've had enough of Joe, then do some other heart beating work outs through this website (more in the web resource page at the bottom) https://inspiredschools.co.uk/inspired-5/ If you would like to do more active things, school has this resource for OUR SCHOOL - home.jasmineactive.com Parent email: parent@stjohnscof-3.com Password: stjohnscof

Do a little bit of writing or grammar from the daily set work.

Have a 20 minute break and if safe, keep your distance go outside for some fresh air.

Do some maths from the daily set work. Challenge yourself with additional learning through the free White Rose material (via FaceBook - https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/).

Eat your lunch and a big drink to hydrate your brain. Have a wiggle and a giggle for an hour.
