This week Year 2 has been full of instructions, commands and many bossy sentences.
We have thought about everyday tasks that need instructions, such as washing hands safely.
We have created instructions from a game we already knew – basketball shootout.
We then looked at a book we have been studying in English lessons; the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. Children in Year 2 thought of alternative sandwich fillings to stop the pesky seagulls from pilfering Mr Grinling’s lunch. We created sets of instructions to make those sandwiches and read them aloud. All were extremely disgusting!
We have also explored the story of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch through artwork this week. Children chose a food to add the basket sent over to the lighthouse, planned and sketched it out before mixing paints and getting messy. The results look good enough to fool any seagull to me.
Well done on a great week of hard work Year 2.
