Homework 3.12.21

Posted: Dec 2, 2021 by: Year 2 (Year 2) on: Year 2 Class Blog

Happy Friday Year 2, and families of Year 2!

Thank you to all children that took part in the story-writing competition.  I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them all and it was very difficult to choose a winner!

After much consideration I was able to choose 1 winner and 2 runners-up:

1st place:  Pearl's story:  "The Lost Sheep" (Prize - Emily Gravett book of your choice).

What I liked most of all, Pearl, was your careful choices of vocabulary such as: "...a distant world of Candy Cane Land," and "...forest of ferocious tigers.".

2nd place: Lydia's story:  The Snowy Mountain (Prize - select an item from our prizes bookshelf in class)

I love how you drew upon lots of ideas that we had explored in class such as onomatopoeia and jealousy:  "Boom! Pop! Twinkle!"

3rd place:  Grace's story:  Grace Lulu's Worry (Prize - select an item from our prizes bookshelf in class)

I loved the way you explored how it feels to worry and have the support of your family to help you deal with those emotions.

ALL CHILDREN WHO ENTERED WILL RECEIVE A LITTLE THANK YOU GIFT!

Well done, everyone!  You are all truly amazing, and I am so grateful for the time you took to write these stories.

Please continue to read at least 3 times per week.

Visit Numbots, TT Rockstars and Sumdog and play for about 5-10 minutes each.

PLEASE TAKE TIME TO ENSURE THAT YOUR CHILD KNOWS THEIR LINES FOR THE CHRISTMAS PRODUCTION.  WE WILL BE BE FILMING, IN EARNEST, NEXT WEEK AND CHILDREN WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ FROM THEIR SHEETS - THEY MUST KNOW THEM 'BY HEART'.

Thanks for your support everyone.

Miss Dyson
