Welcome to Year 2! A big warm welcome to all of you! Miss Kimbley and Mrs Reynolds can’t wait to meet you in September. We love Year 2
because we learn lots of new exciting things. We do some fabulous topics including Inventions and Inventors,
Superheroes and we even learn about The Great Fire of London! Please see the videos of your new Year 2 teachers
talking about Year 2 and introducing themselves! We have also created a Padlet page for you to share with us what you
have been up to over the Summer! Keep an eye out for Mrs Reynolds’ and Miss Kimbley’s updates. Please see below

What does my new teacher look like?
Miss Kimbley Mrs Reynolds
We hope you all have a fantastic summer holiday. The only learning we ask for you to continue with is reading. It will help
you/your child hugely in September to read little and often throughout the holidays and enjoy books together. This is a
link for the Summer Reading Challenge Summer Reading Challenge 2020
We will see you in September for a fun and exciting new year at school!

Bag of Me Hunt
Go on a hunt around your
house/bedroom.
Imagine - if you could take 5
things to space to tell an alien
about you what would you take?
For example ‘I would take a pair
of football boots because I love
football’ or ‘I would take my
baking apron’.
Please see Mrs Reynolds and
Miss Kimbley’s Bag of Me videos.
This is me!
We would love your bright and
colourful self portrait for our
classroom next year!
Don’t forget to look at a close up
photograph or in a mirror to
observe your face.
You could include a background
too.
Movie Maker!
Film a short clip introducing
yourself for us to watch! You
could include your name, your
favourite game, your favourite
toy, tell us who is in your family
or who your friends are! Or
anything else you would like us to
know! It would be lovely to see
and hear you!
Two Truths and a Lie
On the video you will have seen that
we told you 2 truths and 1 lie about
ourselves. Were you able to work
out which was the lie? You can send
in
your thoughts to the class email.
It is now your turn to challenge us.
Send in 3 sentences/facts about
yourself (2 being true and 1 being a
lie) and see if we can identify your
lie.
You may prefer to record yourself
and send this to the class email.
Will you be able to trick us?
Paper Friends!
Can you make some paper dolls
and draw your family and
friends? Who will you choose to
include? Maybe some friends
from school, a club or special
family friends. Maybe you could
include family members too!
Paper Doll Template and
Instructions
You may need a helping hand
from an adult to start this
activity.
Superheroes!
You have all been doing a super
job with your home learning and
being
away from school for so long.
The question is, if you could have
just one super power what would
it be?
Would you want to be able to
fly? Be invisible? Have super
strength?
1) Explain what power you would
choose and why.
2) You may even like to draw
yourself as a superhero
My favourite book is…
We love books!
What is your favourite?
Draw your favourite book. It
could be a story or nonfiction.
Include the front cover, the
author, the illustrator and write
what is about on the back.
You could use the template we
have included if you have a
printer.
Book Eating Bookmark!
Keep track of where you have
read to this summer and make a
funky book eating bookmark!

Cooking!
Our first topic back next term is China. We would usually have a go
at cooking a traditional Chinese meal to share. As cooking and food
preparation is unlikely to go ahead next half term we thought you
could have a go at cooking a meal at home. You could even share
your dish on Padlet. A few options...
Easy chow mein for kids recipe
Baked Vegetable Spring Rolls Recipe
