This week in spelling, we have been learning what a prefix is. We have looked at the prefix ‘re’ and how it changes the meaning of the word.
Throughout the term, we have been developing strategies to help spell words. Today we played a game where we had to work out what word was on our hat and then write it down using the correct spelling.
It was a challenging way to learn the meanings of new words and spell them.
We had fun though!
Year 2 Independently writing about the impact of our changing world on polar bears.Â
Kingfishers class have thoroughly enjoyed this class book. They have used it as an inspiration for their own writing and also to help develop their reading skills. Clearly it comes highly recommended – perhaps you’d like to give it a go?!
Kingfishers are enjoying this book as part of the school topic of ‘Dragons’.
Each week the chapters they read are used as a starting point to build on reading skills including; inference and retrieval. They are also developing their vocabulary and writing skills using what they read from the book as a focus.
Every Wednesday Kingfishers watch the news. One week they were shocked to see the mountains of plastic ready to be recycled. They were even more shocked to hear that this recycling was often transported to other countries.
As a result, they have researched what we can do to REDUCE the amount of plastic we use.
They shared a story book with the whole school along with some videos showing the impact plastic has on Sealife. They spent time creating some persuasive writing encouraging everyone to reduce their plastic usage and ways in which they could do this.
Kingfishers presented their work in a school assembly.
