Hello Year 2! 

Welcome back, it sounds like you all had a fabulous half term break, and it's wonderful to see you all back in school. 

We've had a busy first week back, with our fun trip to Jasmin Fields yesterday and preparing for our class assembly! We still had time to fit in lots of learning though, and we've become very good at using directions and positional language this week!

I hope you all have a brilliant weekend!

Best wishes,

Miss Price
