Wicklewood Primary School Swift class Year 2
Hello Wonderful Swifts,
Every Monday I will set your phonics, English and maths work for the week. All the resources you need will be at the bottom of this webpage. Don’t forget to look at the ‘family challenge’ activities on the website as well. The maths and English activities are the most important things for you to complete, but you may enjoy one (or more) of the family challenges.
Parents/carers can now email me at swift@wicklewood.norfolk.sch.uk with any questions, and you can send me one piece of work a week that you are proud of. All emails must be from a parent email account.
Join us on Friday at 2pm for the Virtual Big Sing with celebrity performers (Jessie J is one of them).
Stay safe
Miss Harvey 😊
