2022-24 Year 2 Blog

 Today in English we learnt about similes. We learnt that similes use the words like or as to compare two things and describe. We worked in groups to think of similes to describe monsters. We then looked at our own monster designs from yesterday and thought of similes to describe the different parts of our monsters body. 

 In English today we started looking at our new book Monsters: an owners guide. We looked at the first few pages of the book and then thought about what our monster would look like if we bought one, we designed our monster, gave it a name and labelled it with adjectives to describe its body parts. 

 We started something new in English this week, looking at a new book. We started off by looking at a poem and trying to work out what the poem was describing, drawing a picture of what we thought the poem was describing. 

 This week in English we have been writing our own stories based on The Bear and the Piano. We changed the animal and the strange thing that the animal finds. There were some fantastic stories!

 Lots of excitement in year 2 today as we received a letter from the zoo of magical creatures telling us that a dragon had escaped and had been seen in Gurnard! They told us that he is a friendly dragon. We then saw a picture that had been taken of the dragon in our school! We thought of words to describe the dragon and then designed warning posters to warn people about the dragon.
