Welcome back to the Grove Academy!

 

This half term's learning focus for our blog is writing, and our wonderful wordsmiths have already been producing some cracking compositions. We are really excited to share these with you over the next few weeks, and the children love receiving feedback so comments are very welcome. Before you submit one, please take a few seconds to read the blog rules below.

 

In Year 1, our theme for this half term is Brilliant Bodies, and we will be writing a short poem about reasons why we can’t go to School when we are poorly. This will help build our vocabulary in preparation for our story writing. We will also be labelling different parts of our bodies using adjectives to describe them.

 

Meanwhile, Year 2 will be learning all about Dinosaurs, and are looking at various poems to build up their vocabulary. They will be reading Katie and the Dinosaurs with the hope of writing their own narrative, as well as creating a fact file about a fictional dinosaur.

 

Keep checking back for regular updates!
