On this page, every day, we will upload learning for Maths, English and one Foundation subject. This will be in the form of videos and supporting pdf documents. These should not need to be printed out.

To complete the learning you will need to watch the video and follow the tasks. You are able to pause, play and rewind the videos, so if there is anything you need repeating, you can go back and listen again.

If there is anything that is unclear or the videos are not working, please let us know.

When you have completed the learning please can you remember to email us at least twice a week at  year2@thevine.cambs.sch.uk  to let us know how you are getting on with remote learning.

PE

Hello Year 2, it’s time to get active! 

 Getting active is a great way to either start your day, break up your day or even at the end of your learning day,  After all of your fantastic learning! It’s great to shake off some energy! 

How you can get active: 

 ~ you can make an obstacle course around the house by:

> weaving in and out of Chairs 

> putting a sheet over chairs to make a tunnel

> hopping to another room

> balancing along a line, peace of string, anything thin along the floor! and pretend there are crocodiles underneath! 

> throwing a pair of socks into a laundry basket, box or even a wellie boot! 

You could time it & then see if you can beat your time! 

Or make an obstacle course outdoors!  

Have fun keeping active, we would love to see any obstacle courses you have made!
