Year 2 – Monday 6th April – Easter Holiday
Good morning Year 2,
I hope you are all well and have enjoyed a nice, relaxing weekend. As it is now officially the Easter holidays, we will be reducing the workload to ensure you can all enjoy a well deserved rest. Instead of our daily learning posts, we will instead be uploading 1 post at the start of each of the two weeks that will contain some fun activities for you to have a go at, as well as posting a good morning message each day to keep in touch. We will also be contactable using our email address at year2@stmarksce.org.uk, and would love to hear what you are getting up to over the Easter holidays.
The weekly posts that we will put up will contain a range of activities for you and your family to have a go at. You may choose to complete 1 activity each day, 1 a week, or you may decide to complete your own activities, or have a complete break. All of these options are fine, as these activities are only ideas, and are optional. You may also wish to continue with your daily activities, which are listed below.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and hard work at this challenging time. The emails we have received have demonstrated how hard you are all working, and the efforts you are going to to ensure your child can continue their learning. We wish you a happy, healthy and enjoyable Easter holidays.
Many thanks,
The Year 2 Team
