Year 2 - Literacy Learning - Week Beginning 12th January 2018

This week we have had a big focus on our handwriting.  The children have been writing up their work to stick into Victorian Scrapbooks that we are making, they have also had the opportunity to use handwriting pens.  They have come up with the following success criteria to improve their handwriting:

• SLOW DOWN!
• Concentrate/ Focus
• Think about the size of your writing.  Small but clear.
• Sit up straight and be still.
• Feet on the floor.
• Non-writing hand holding paper.
• Try to join to keep letters in words close together.
• Join if you can.
• Use a ruler to underline.

Some of the work we have seen this week has been amazing, everyone is improving, well done year 2.
We have also been practicing learning word types and using these to help us write interesting sentences.
