Read MoreHow do you make a sandwich?
Published 31/01/25, by Kiki AminFor our next unit of writing, we are writing our own instruction texts in the form of recipes! Today, we talked about what an instructional text is and how it must be precise and explicitly clear to ensure a great outcome! We learnt about how imperative verbs (bossy verbs) are used for this. To show our growing knowledge, we were tasked with teaching Miss Amin how to make a sandwich, which was trickier than we thought! Then, we had a go at instructing our talk partners, being precise and brushing up on our oracy skills too! What fun we had!

Read MoreYear 2 Termly Library Trips
Published 29/01/25, by Kiki AminThank you for your continued support with our termly library trips! The children have thoroughly enjoyed selecting new books and sharing stories with their friends. The library have let us know that they will no longer be able to allow children to take out books without their physical cards, even if they are registered, as it takes a lot of time and means some children aren't getting a chance to withdraw a book before the end of the trip.
If your child does not yet have a library card, this can be done by either popping into the library or signing up online here. Please do this before the next trip so that your child is able to withdraw a book.

Published 29/01/25, by Kiki AminYesterday, we learnt about the emergency services and how to stay safe in an emergency. We had so much fun role-playing different scenarios! First, we pretended someone was hurt. We pretended to call 999 and we remembered to stay calm and say, "We need the ...., You need to send help to ....". We learnt about who we actually speak to when we call for help too. It’s important to shout for help too! At the end of our session, we felt confident because we know now how to stay safe and who to contact in an emergency.
