Y2 - Literacy Learning - Week beginning 5th June

This week we have completed our collaborative learning task from before the holidays.  The children worked in small groups to create a save the sea turtles campaign.  They have made posters, gathered information and made their own fact sheets about sea turtles.  It was wonderful to see how well the children worked together, supported each other and compromised!
We have also looked at how we can describe people both real and fictional.  We have read and sorted facts about three famous people from Dorchester's past: William Barnes, Judge Jefferys and Thomas Hardy.  We have also begun to look at how Roald Dahl describes the people in his stories.  We will continue with this next week, specifically looking at our use of adjectives (describing words).
