We have been busy learning how to write an effective rainforest description. Why not write your own about this photograph. Can you use different sentence openers, conjunctions and adjectives?
How many of the KS1 common exception words can you read and spell?
We had an amazing visit to Bewdley Museum.
We were lucky to go on 11th November and this meant we took part in a remembrance service. We met Derek who was evacuated at just 11 years old. We asked him questions to help us explore the past. We visited an Anderson shelter and even had a go at putting out bombs! Don’t worry it was just pretend. We have loved exploring artefacts to learn more about history.
Two very strange cases arrived in school today, look what we found inside! We know they are linked to the past and each one contained a red poppy. we had great fun looking at the artefacts. Can you guess when they were from?
Our new text arrived in class today. We looked at the front cover carefully and discussed what we could see. We thought of lots of interesting questions such as:
- Who are these soldiers?
- Where are they?
- How did they get there?
- Why has the camel got no head?
Why not take a look at the cover with your grown-ups and think of some questions together? What do you predict this book will be about?
If you would like to write a story about these characters at home, we would love to read them. 
We have begun to learn about coding this week including what algorithms are.
If u would like to have a go at home, you can use Scratch Chat for free by following this link: https://scratch.mit.edu/
Or if you have an iPad you can install Hopscotch and begin to code simple games.
Both of these are used in school and are free!
Welcome to year 2!
