Year 2 English Gathering Ideas for Writing

Look at our busy Year 2 writers at Darwen St James!  In our Ready Steady Write English lesson today, we stepped right into the illustrations of The Night Gardener to gather ideas for our writing! Using role play and our senses, we imagined what we could see, hear, smell, touch, and feel if we were standing right there on Grimloch Lane. Look how hard everyone worked to record their fantastic vocabulary—including:  Similes (as tall as a tower, leaves rustling like whispers!) Question marks & exclamations (What is happening to the trees? How magical!) Adjectives & suffixes (-ly, -less, -ful) like mysterious, quietly, endless, and wonderful! We have filled our planning sheets with brilliant ideas and can’t wait to turn them into our very own setting narratives! What would you most like to see sculpted out of a tree?

Year 1 - P.E - To develop and combine travelling movements.

In PE this week, our learning objective was to develop and combine travelling movements. We worked hard to meet our success criteria by experimenting with different body parts to travel on—such as hands, feet, tummies, and backs—and linking our movements smoothly at both high and low levels. Fantastic control and creativity from everyone!
