WRITING:  Write a letter to a family member or a friend. What are you going to tell the person you are writing to? What exciting things have you done that you would like to share? (Bike rides, walks, baking, sports, arts and crafts etc…) Will you ask them any questions? Maybe you would like to also draw them a picture.

Use this checklist to help you:

• Write the date at the top of your letter
• Who are you writing to? Dear…..
• Capital letters and full stops
• Neat, joined up handwriting
• Paragraphs – start your letter with a short introduction…
• Ending sentence – I hope to see you soon. Love from……

Good Morning Year 2!

I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend and managed to enjoy some time in the sunshine!​​​​​​​

This week, instead of daily grammar tasks, I am going to set some reading comprehensions as it has been a while since we have done any. If you aren't able to print off the comprehensions, read the text on your iPad/computer and then answer the questions in your exercises books in full sentences

Keep up the fantastic work - you are all doing a wonderful job!
