Year 2 | Foundry Lane Primary School

Welcome to the Year 2 Homepage

School Closure Activities

Please keep checking in on this page for resources and websites that you can use with your children while they are off school. For the first 2 weeks we will be sending home an activity booklet and handwriting booklet which covers a wide range of curriculum areas.

UPDATE: After the Easter Holidays we will be adding another 2 week activity booklet based around things we have previously taught in school. This will be added to this page of the website on Monday 20th April and at this same time, on Purple Mash, the children will also be set daily reading to complete. You can collect the new workbooks from the school office on Tuesday 21st April after 9.30am.

Thank you for your continued support,

The Year 2 Team

PE:

YouTube 'P.E with Joe' at 9am every morning for a 30 minute PE lesson taken by Joe Wicks. They are all saved on there so you can access them throughout the day.

Other Tasks:

The children's charity 'Make-A-Wish' have released a 14 day activity series for children to complete. They have based their tasks on what their 'wish' children do to help themselves through their own isolation periods. Give it a go and let us know how you get on!
