Together we have re-written Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell to create Dear Aquarium by Year 2. We have thought carefully about the structure of each sentence and used a thesaurus to uplevel our adjective choices. Some of us even used conjunctions to extend our sentences to give reasons i.e. I wrote to the aquarium to send me a shark because they are huge with sharp teeth, but, they sent me a small shark with tiny teeth! So I sent him back.
In science, we have been asking ourselves questions to identify what humans need to survive. While stranded on a desert island we thought about what would be nice to have and what would be essential to survive. Next week we will be writing messages in a bottle, in the hope that someone will find it and bring us supplies!
Over the summer the school library has had a reorganisation and Year 2 enjoyed spending some time there this week, choosing and reading a book. We hope to go to the library at least once every two weeks and share books together.
Our Art lesson saw some amazing drawing skills and used two different ways of drawing. The first was using a continuous line and the second was a ‘feely drawing’ where we had to feel the object with our eyes closed and draw what we felt.
Well done for learning your spellings and doing lots of reading at home.
Best wishes
The Year 2 Team
