Year 2 - English ‘Shape Days’
Year 2 will be completing a non-fiction piece of writing over the next few weeks based on the story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’. To begin this unit we have completed 2 ‘shape days’ where we have been looking at our new shape vocabulary that will help us with our writing; see if your child can remember any of the shapes we have learned.
Year 5 - Timeline
We have had a very busy week, starting our new topic in English, we also created timelines of significant Kings and Queens in English. The children found this tricky but really tried hard to apply their growth mindsets.

As part of our English unit, the children enjoyed their campfire experience day. We sang songs, listened to stories and even enjoyed smores and hot chocolate.
Y6 - Collaborative Poem
This morning Year 6 wrote a collaborative poem all about a boat on a stormy sea. I think you’ll agree with me that they have used some wonderful vocabulary!
