Year 2 School Closure Pack: ENGLISH

Due to the school’s closure, we have put together a series of activities that are compulsory for students to complete in their absence. Please see below for an advisory timetable for completing the activities related to English (these are all reading and writing-based tasks). Your pupil will also need to complete maths and topic based tasks. Once each activity has been completed, pupils are able to cross these off the timetable.

Currently, this pack contains sufficient learning for 1 week of absence from school. Should schools remain closed for longer than this period of time, additional learning will be added to the school system and will be found at:
