Showing Resilience in Handwriting

Crew Godley have been determined to get their letter formation right! We have been practising so hard to form our letters correctly – we have so much remember! Our pencil grip, starting at the correct points and forming our letters within the correct lines. Our dough disco always helps warm up our fingers and today we can see a big improvement when forming our letters in a word rather than solitary.

We then played a game where we had to listen to our crew mates describing a letter by its formation, a letter ‘Guess Who’, we had to show we’d listened and formed the letter correctly to get a point. It was very tricky at times! Sharni-Mae loved tricking her crew mates!

Little red riding hood

Today we experienced being little red riding hood. We firstly made a basket to take to grandma’s house because she wasn’t feeling very well. We took her a bun. To get to grandma’s house we had to go through the woods. When we were in the woods we saw a wolf!! We ran to grandma’s house to make sure she was okay!

Experience Lesson – Little Red Riding Hood

We were so excited for our experience lesson today.

We began by making baskets to deliver our freshly baked cupcakes to grandmas house.

We then set off to walk through the woods towards grandmas house.


In the woods we spotted a scary looking wolf lurking in the trees!

Finally we made it to grandmas house but there was something different about her today!

Subject/ verb

Today we applied all of our learning to a single clause sentence and unpicked what the verb of each sentence was and from that could decide the subject. I was so impressed with how well everyone could apply all of their knowledge.

Working Hard in handwriting

In year 2 we have been working hard on getting to grips with our new handwriting lines. We have practiced the names of the four different lines and can now recall these independently. Today we practised drawing lines and circles from verbal instructions. The children were absolutely amazing at this and I can’t wait to see how much their handwriting improves as the year progresses.
