Y2 are writers
Thu 06 Feb 2025This week Y2 have started looking at the story Our Tower by Joseph Coelho for story telling week. To build ideas for their writing we explored the school grounds to find secret passageways into magical worlds. Once the children had identified a passage they designed the magical world that they think would be hidden behind it. We then used drama to deepen by acting out going into our world and imagining how we would feel.

Year 1 are Excellent at English…
Wed 05 Feb 2025This week we have been spending time practicing our sentence writing skills. We have been writing these independently then sharing our sentences with the rest of the class. Our big focus has been on using our ‘tappy pencil’ and tapping each word we have written to help us know what our next word is to write. We have been blown away with the children’s independence this week, it’s been amazing to see their growth in confidence during these lessons!
