This week, in English, we have written our newspaper reports
about the ‘great sculpture robbery’ that took place in the art gallery of our
book ‘Claude in the City’. The children wrote a headline, drew a picture with a
caption and included lots of real facts and quotes from local people. We have
used the opportunity to discuss the features of non-fiction texts.
In the afternoons, we have been busy completing Easter and
spring craft activities. The children really enjoyed making their bouncing
chicks and chocolate Easter nests in baskets.
On Thursday, we had a wonderful time on our school trip. The
children found out lots of information about the Sainsbury Centre and completed
some sketching activities. After Easter, we will be continuing our work on
non-fiction by making leaflets/guidebooks for the Sainsbury Centre using the
information we collected.
We have had our final practise of our ‘special booklets’
(SATs) ready for May and we are pleased with the progress that the children
have made. Over the Easter holidays, please continue to hear you child read
little and often, and, if you have time, complete a few maths problems with
them (all 4 operations). However, and most importantly, we really hope you all
have a relaxing Easter filled with exciting activities.
From,
Year 2 Team
