Goodbye Year 2

Wow- what a strange year it has been! We never expected the year to play out the way that it did but one thing that is true is how much you have impressed us this year both before school closure and lock down as well as during it.

 

The work that you have completed during lockdown has been amazing to see and we have loved watching you develop your determination, perseverance and resilience to learning.

 

We cannot believe that we are not able to say a proper goodbye to you all but we want you to know how much we have loved teaching you this year and watching you grow. We are proud to say a fond farewell through our Year 2 video that we have all created together as a final celebration of your time at Paulton Infant School and it was lovely seeing all of your smiling faces.

 

We are confident that you will all be amazing in Year 3 and we hope you have a restful and relaxing summer

​

All the best, take care and stay safe from Mr Cozens, Mrs Butcher, Mrs Harding, Miss Jones, Mrs Sowerby, Mrs Kerton, Mrs Elford and Mrs Doble x

​

P.S.don't forget to wave at us all through the fence next year!

Current Home Learning:

Please remember these are proposed learning tasks and we recognise that you may not complete them all on set days and you can access them as you need to across the week in ways that support yourselves and your families. Below you will find key resources to support you with accessing our overview grid and remember you can ask questions should you need to using our email address. We do not expect work to be printed and where possible we are attempting to provide learning opportunities with minimal resources for you all at home with all links accessible through the overview document. Equally as important as the home learning we set is allowing your children to pursue and investigate their own learning tasks incorporating their interests as well as life skills such as cooking, cleaning or even gardening.Take care, stay safe and keep in touch!
