  • Diary entry writing in Year 2.

    Published 13/10/24, by Andy Mari

    A brilliant two weeks for Year 2. We have continued learning about the Great fire of London and have produced some fantastic diary entries in our writing lessons. We had a visit from Samuel Pepys, who told us about his experience during the Great Fire. He even had some smelly objects for us to smell and experience! Last week we celebrated National Poetry day. We focussed on Respect and worked together to share ideas about what this would look, feel and taste like. We then created our own poem and entered a poetry competition! We have continued to work collaboratively in maths and have been learning to add and subtract two digit numbers!
