Published 14/05/26, by Joshua CialisWe've had a great time in Yr 2 writing our follow-on narratives for The Lonely Beast. We designed a friend for the Beast and imagined what they would do together. We thought carefully about constructing verbs and adverbs to describe what activities they'd do together. We then wrote our story over 3 lessons and edited our work.
After we had published our stories, we had a writing celebration where we read each other's work and enjoyed eating cakes (just like the beast). Ask us about our story.

A named water bottle
A hat if it is sunny
A named jumper and coat if it's coldParents are not able to watch this event, but we will share photos after the event.
Read MoreMarvellous Measuring in Team A-W
Published 08/05/26, by Kiki AminToday, Year 2 learnt about measuring in metres. We discussed how 1 metre is equal to 100 centimetres and explored when and why we use metres for measuring larger objects. The children became measurement explorers and measured the height and length of different things around the classroom, including doors, display boards, baskets, books and chairs! We even measured the length of the classroom and the height of our adults! Year 2 had to identify whether objects were greater than 1 metre and less than 1 metre – which was lots of fun! Why not test us!

Read MoreStunning Storyboards in Team A-W
Published 07/05/26, by Kiki AminYear 2 finished reading their core text, The Lonely Beast, last week and started to work on their own storyboards and story maps. Drawing together simple sentences, different sentence openers, key punctuation and their own illustrations, the children in Year 2 have produced some incredible work that they are rightly very proud of! Ask them all about it - if they were to create their own Beast story, what would it be about?
