The children were involved by acting out parts of the story.

Thank you Mr Sheeny.

Story Telling Week

 

Story Telling Week: Tuesday

 

 

We had our first visit of Tuesday from a secondary student.

Thank you Lakshita, the children enjoyed listening an alternate version of the 3 Little Pigs.

 

 

Year 2 had written their own version of Jack and the beanstalk on Monday, and a few children volunteered to read their story to the class and Lakshita.

 

Our second visit of the day was from Mr Clark.

The class were very excited to have Mr Clark come and read one of his favourite stories. He chose Giraffes can't dance.

Thank you Mr Clark, the children found the story quite funny and we continued the theme that everyone can dance to a 'different beat' when we went back into our classroom.

 

Our final visitor of Tuesday was from Senorita Santana who read The Gruffalo and the Gruffalo's Child.

Again thank you, the children love these stories, they are also among my favourites.

Spelling test

 

SUPER SPELLERS

 

On Wednesday the class had their weekly spelling test,

I was very impressed with their results.

 

I can see most of the children using their Fred sounds/fingers to help them with their green words.

I have also noticed a fantastic improvement in their independent writing and Big Write, more and more words are being spelt correctly and I have also noticed the increase of adjectives being used.

 

Well done Year 2!

Keep up the good work.  

Homework

 

This weeks homework

 

My Read Write Inc group have no new green or red words this week, Miss Caroline´s group have as they have started a new story.

 

Both groups have a maths activity linked to what we have been learning this week and a correct the sentences.

The first sentence has 5 spelling mistakes, the children just need to circle the word that is spelt incorrect, the second sentence has 5 grammar mistakes (capital letters, full stops, question mark and an exclamation mark).

 

Happy homework time!
