The children have been asked to write the next part of the story, following on from this introduction:

I was feeling very odd when I woke up this morning. I was strangely hot and felt as if I wanted to scratch myself. When my alarm clock went off it actually scared me, and I leapt out of bed. I landed lightly on my feet. 

When I looked into my bedroom mirror I couldn’t believe what I saw. 

Could this be possible?

I had turned into a chimpanzee!!!

Year Two - Welcome to the Spring Term

Happy New Year!

We hope that you have all enjoyed a lovely holiday.
The children have made a good start back today and we are all set to enjoy an exciting Spring Term.

This week, the children are going to be having a go at writing their own adventure stories in the style of an ancient myth. 

I will be modelling the writing of my own story to help the children to structure and organise their story-writing; and to draw attention to how to develop characters, settings and the plot. It would be great if you could chat to your son or daughter about their story (the plot, the characters, the monsters) and so help them to have a good, secure idea about the content that they are going to develop over the week.

Our Maths over the next couple of weeks is (Unit 5 Power Maths) will focus on Multiplication and Division.

For more details of events and curriculum details for the term, please refer to the Knowledge Organisers (sent last term) and the news letter - out tomorrow.
