What a superb morning meeting a Year 2 friend's Dad who is an.... author! We loved hearing all about David Whitehouse's journey and inspiration and about why he loves writing his own books so much! Did you know we have several budding writers in Year 2 who LOVE writing their own stories! Ask us all about it meeting David!

Year 2 team :)
What a fantastic day we had on Friday with a whole school day of Maths!
The children had a great day working systematically to create their own witches' potions with Miss Millidine, investigated a city building problem with Miss Morris, built their own robots with Mr Brown and used their new learning about money to go shopping for ingredients at Mr Brun-Cialis' magic shop! Ask them all about it :)

For our next unit of writing, we are writing our own instruction texts in the form of recipes! Today, we talked about what an instructional text is and how it must be precise and explicitly clear to ensure a great outcome! We learnt about how imperative verbs (bossy verbs) are used for this. To show our growing knowledge, we were tasked with teaching Miss Amin how to make a sandwich, which was trickier than we thought! Then, we had a go at instructing our talk partners, being precise and brushing up on our oracy skills too! What fun we had!
Please find attached spellings for this week, which will be given out today. Children will be tested on these next Friday (07.02.2025).
