Year 2 Literacy

This week we have started looking at the story ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’. Today we explored the emotions felt by story characters. We discussed the character actions and the language that was used in the text to convey emotions. Then we chose one emotion and with a partner created a poster showing why the crayon feels this way. The children produced some fantastic work!

We have been learning about maps and also positional language during the last couple of weeks in Maths. We also had to follow our friends instructions to try and draw a house exactly the same as our friends. Here are some photos of what we have been up to!

Help us all to be trustworthy people,

so that we can live together in love and harmony.

Amen.
