Year Two Blog

The long, cold and dark winter is, at last gone in Chorlton. Here are some signs of Spring that I saw on my way to school this week. What clues can YOU see that Spring is here? Maybe it’s not Spring where you live. Why not tell us about which season you are in now?

Off with the hair he is the mayor.
Theres a necklase & its fetchless.
Off with the teeshirt then it teans into a skirt .                                                                                                              Off with the gloves they are relly in love.
Off with the jumper is a pice of cucumber.
Off with the watch hes a fox & a box.
Off with the jeans he eats beans.
Off with the socks they’re as hard as a rock.
Off with the shoes win the blews.
Off with the laces they’ve got faces.
Off with the wool over the skull.

Did you go to the Disco on Thursday? If you did you might have been snapped by the papparazi… Have a look at your photos, can you see anyone you recognise? Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make it a success!

Off with the head hes in bed he feels relly ded.
Cut of his nose & put them on his tose.
Off with the neck it wont take a secc.
Off with the arms there in a farm.
Off with the beely my welly is eating my belly.
Off with the legs they look like pegs.
Off with the feet put them a streets.

Take a look at this beautiful bluebell wood. Can you use simile to describe the different things you can see? How would you feel if you were there? How would the wood smell? Could you describe the bluebells in an interesting way?

 
As we are doing lots of poetry this week, why not look at some of these great resources. Lots of recordings, videos and information about poetry. You could post your own poems as comments!

Next week we will be writing our own poems about nature. Here are some great examples of nature poems:

Nature poems for children

I particularly like Seashell by James Berry. What do you like and why?

Have a look at this picture. Do you know who the man in the middle is? What can you find out about him? Why did he visit Manchester?

Yesterday was World Book Day. In Year 2 we spent a lot of time reading, discussing and enjoying books. We also went to Year 1 with a book we really liked and shared it with a child there. Here are some photos of us enjoying our books:

Martin luther King wanted everybody to be equal because in those day’s the white people got all the glory but then he came in and chanjed the wy that people thought.

This week we have been looking at Martin Luther King Jr’s most famous speech where he talked about his dream for the world.

We have learnt that things have become a lot fairer because of Martin Luther King’s powerful words. He was able to convince people to change their ways by the amazing things he said. We talked about what it was that made his speeches so influential.

Now we are thinking about what we think needs to be improved in the world – our dreams for the future. We tried to use powerful words and sentences. Here are a some of our starts:

Raaida says:

I have a dream that people would stop fighting and killing each other so that we can live in peace together. People are dying because they are fighting for what they believe in , but that is not good.

Amy says:

My hope for the future is that all people should have enough cash. Some children can’t go to school and they don’t learn to read or write and they don’t have enough money for toys. All people should have enough money to have homes. How would you like it if you didn’t have a home? Would you be happy or sad?

Zain says:

I have a dream that people would look after the environment and stop dropping litter. I have a dream about looking after our world. We want to make our world better.

I can’t wait to hear them when they’re finished and recorded! Could you help them to improve their work, or suggest some more sentences to them?
