Year 2 have been looking at writing instructions over the last 2 weeks. We found out that we have to use imperative verbs, time adverbials and command sentences! We shared some of our instructions with a Year 4 class and then had a go at instructing our partners to draw a picture and then revealed the pictures to see if they were the same - we had great fun!

 This morning, we had a visitor from the Essex Fire/ Police Service education team to speak to us about safety around Halloween and Bonfire Night. They left us the following leaflet with their top tips for you to browse and have asked the children to pass on what they have learnt so that the season runs smoothly. 

 Please see below some guidance to help develop your child's reading comprehension:

 The children are having a great start to Year 2 and are working extremely hard with their learning! They have particularly enjoyed our PE sessions, looking at place value in maths and learning about The Great Fire of London in History!

 Over the last week, we have been thinking about our time together and all of the wonderful memories we have from our year together! Today, we are working in pairs or by ourselves to create poems using the exciting vocabulary!

Please could the children bring in a carrier bag each before Wednesday, when we will be sending home all of their wonderful learning! The Year 2 Team

 We had a wonderful sports day! Thank you for all of your support and encouragement! The children had a lovely morning!

Our DT project is to create a bookmark using a running stitch!  We have designed a bookmark and planned what we need.  Each day, we work alongside an adult to each create our own piece!  We will then be evaluating our achievement and seeing if it looks like the design!
