Fly swat and clothesline take away

Lessons we enjoyed with Mrs Deane:

Take away using little felt items of clothing on a washing line.

Fly swat with sight words.

Paper helicopters in push pull.

My Pa

I wonder if this beautiful poem will stir up your emotions as it did mine?

My Pa
I see trawlers coming in over the dieselly sea
I hear the sound of pawn nets clipping on the trawlers
I smell delicious fish from the shop
I feel the sharp rocks.
I love going to Morgans' with Pa.

Nellie

Under questions and worries, Nellie has written, "Are you going to be mean soon?"


The Year 2s have been filling in this form. It took us a long time. At the end of the year we are going to fill in the identical form except 'Year 2' will be replaced with 'Year 3'. We will then be able to see how our writing skills have developed over the year. We anticipate that the form will take a lot less time to complete!

Look at what a good looking bunch of children you have:
