This week, we will continue using the Oak Academy for our English lessons. On their website, you will watch a video of a lesson taught by a teacher. Then, you be given some activities to have a go at.
These lessons will build up skills throughout the unit and you will produce a final written piece in lesson 5. Use the button in the right hand corner of the screen to navigate between sections of the lesson. You can pause the video and come back to it at any point.
This week, we will be continuing to read and explore the book 'The Firework Makers Daughter'. If you have not finished last week's lessons, you will need to finish those off first otherwise this week's learning will not make sense!
Remember to take a photo of your final piece every Friday to email in.
Don't forget the brilliant e-books on Bug Club.

Today, you will be writing a recount as if you were Lila. You will need to pause and write down the ‘Star Words' that Miss Emms puts on her screen. These words will help you when you are doing your writing. Try to include them in your recount. Miss Emms models 5 lines of writing of the recount. She then asks you to carry on writing independently. You might find it useful to have the ‘order of events’ sheet (click on the dots at the bottom of the screen to find it) up so that you can make sure your recount in chronological order.
While you are writing, try really hard to write neatly. Don't forget capital letters and full stops.
When you have finished, ask a parent to take a photo of your brilliant recount and send to the Year 2 email address to show Mrs Bertenshaw. She is really looking forward to reading your writing.
