Good morning Year 2. I hope you all had a lovely weekend - it was so nice to see the sun again wasn't it. We only have two more weeks of home learning - I know a lot of you are finding it difficult now but try to keep going!
We have a treat for you all on Wednesday. Your parents may have told you that we are going to do a virtual sports day this week. I will post all the details on the stream on Wednesday. I hope you have as much fun taking part as we all did!
Have a lovely week
love
Mrs Morrison
