• Year 2 are Independent Writers…

  Tue 10 Feb 2026

  Year 2 have been focussing on writing sentences that are dictated by someone else. This is a great skill to practise as by dictating what the sentence will say, allows the children to focus on spelling, punctuation and grammar. The children have coped really well with trying out this new writing technique. We have seen a big improvement in their spelling too this half term - keep up the good work, Year 2!
