Peer marking in 2JS

Posted by Mr Sloan on 4th February 2010

Today we looked at our writing in lots of detail. We were checking some recent work and looking for things like how well we used dialogue, description and punctuation. We thought about whether our writing made sense, and whether we were joining our letters.

To help with this, we swapped books and looked at each others’ work too. Was it useful? What do you need to improve in your writing? Leave a comment.

Guided writing in Year 2

Posted by Mr Sloan on 27th January 2010

Here are the first 7 examples of writing done in 2JS this week. These are part of our storyboard project (see the post below). I think the children did a fantastic job working in their groups of three. They came up with imaginative, interesting, and clever ways to tell their part of the story.

What do you like about their work?

What could they improve?

Kate’s fabulous writing

Posted by Mr Sloan on 25th November 2009

Kate wrote some brilliant descriptive sentences today about the character of Harry from Tony Ross’ version of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”. If you haven’t read it, Harry (the boy who cries “Wolf!”) is pretty mean and silly. This is what Kate has to say about him. Click on the little picture for the full version.
