Hello , my name is Mrs Breaks and I am the lucky class teacher of the children in Class 2V. We have a fantastic teaching assistant in our class called Mrs Blackman . We also have the support of Miss Fort on Tuesday afternoons.
If you have any questions or worries about school, please catch and speak to one of us before or after the school day ( outside for obvious reasons during these strange times of Covid 19 .)
Alternatively, you could contact me via the class email and I will get back to you when I am not teaching the class.
Hedgehog and Tortoise want to give each other a great big hug, but they are not allowed to touch.
This is a lovely story to share during social distancing. It really made me smile.
You may need to create an FREE account for this site, but it has many READING BOOKS similar to those we have in school. Reading is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT areas of learning we recommend for our children at home - it is so important! Try and read a book as often as you can!
Here are some 2D (flat shape) worksheets and 3D (solid shape) work sheets for you to have a go at . Remember, there are lots of 2D and 3D objects for you to find at home, which you can borrow to help count features like corners and sides.

Tuesday 2nd April was International Children's Book Day
I know that Class 2V love stories. Enjoy your own books ,or you will find that You Tube has many popular books online!
You could choose your favourite book and have a go at some of the activities I have added below...
Whether you choose a familiar story,( Like those from Apple Tree Farm) or something new- have a read!
You could print them off the sheets to keep with your activity booklet.
Easter break is over, but I will leave these activities here, incase you didn't get around to them.
I have added a document of Easter Activities which you can print off and complete and play the games, do the colourings etc.
There is also a good website with Easter links to RE and craft activities.
I have also attached a document from the Lancashire English team which has activities based on a story with lots of links to online documents. There will be one of these released each week after the break, so keep checking back on this page weekly!
​​​​​​Gonoodle.com is a fantastic website for Year Two children. It has been LOVED by previous class members. There are lots of dance and mindfulness activities to enjoy. Some are just for fun, whilst others are linked to areas of the curriculum.
Class 2V have always used the free elements of this website as a treat after SATs in previous years. If you explore, you will find songs, raps or dance routines which will quickly become your favourites. (Try Banana, Banana, Meatball!) There are lots of Gonoodle videos on youtube too.
It will be fun to do this together when we are back at school.
Milk Bottle Elephants
Here is a chance to colour a beautiful thank you picture, which you could stick in your window to make people smile. It is a chance to say thank you to all the hardworking hospital staff at this difficult time for them.

Super Salads !
We were very excited to try out different salad ingredients.
It was hard to decide on which salad ingredients to include in our own side salad recipe. It was fun preparing our side salad, but we most enjoyed eating it all up!
We had great fun enjoying 'The Twits' and finding out all about Roald Dahl and his fantastic characters. We enjoyed dressing up on Roald Dahl's birthday.
Thank you for all your donations for the Roald Dahl Foundation.
In our Science lessons, we have been enjoying investigating things.
This week we were busy investigating if the biggest apples always have the most seeds.
