This Tuesday (11th February) is Internet Safety Day – In Year 2 we will be focusing on what types of information are private, choosing appropriate passwords and information that should not be shared online. We will also be revisiting our school online safety rules. (See above).
This Friday is our 100th day in school….
On Friday 14th February 2025, we are taking part in a themed Maths day. We have chosen this day as it will mark reaching 100 on our daily counts.
