Y2 - Literacy Learning - Week beginning 13th March 2017

This week in Literacy we have been looking at how to use conjunctions in our sentences through writing about the Great Fire of London.  The children have been inspired to write by finding out about Tom Porter, a boy who woke up to find himself in the middle of the fire in 1666.  Why not follow his adventure again?:

Conjunctions are words that join two shorter sentences together.  We have used and, but, so, then and because.  At home you could think of a short sentence such as:
The flames flew into the air.
Then choose a conjunction to add to the end:
The flames flew into the air but...
Can your child finish the sentence and put a full stop?  Reread the sentence to check it makes sense.
