This half term, the children in Year 2 have thoroughly enjoyed their Goldilocks and the Three Bears writing unit. It’s been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and effort throughout the process.

The unit began with an exciting ‘hook’ during our visit to West Boldon Lodge, which sparked their imaginations and set the scene for their learning. From there, they’ve embraced our whole-school writing unit, which has included skills lessons, identifying the key features of a narrative, comprehension based on a model text and detailed planning.

This week, the children completed their Big Write task, and we couldn’t be prouder of their hard work and dedication. They have exceeded expectations, writing at length and including a fantastic range of the skills they’ve been learning so far in Year 2. It’s also been delightful to see how much they’ve improved the presentation of their work—many of them are already joining letters!

Well done, Year 2! We are so impressed by your determination and progress. Keep up the great work!
