Writing to Inform. This term, Year 2 have been learning about informative texts. There are many language features that can help us to improve our writing, including: verbs (e.g. jump, run) adverbs (e.g. quickly, slowly, fast, beautifully) prepositions (e.g. on, in, beside, beneath, upon) time connectives (e.g. directly after, following that, next) Take a look at the clips below that we have watched in class.

Week 6 Journal entries: What are two things that your parents have taught you?

                                        WALT: Write my thoughts down in a journal


Two things my family have taught me are me to learn my times tables so I can be smarter with my tables. tables are very important and my mother taught me how to play the piano. When music is mixed up with maths it makes you very smart. It is important to learn both of those things


Emilia




One thing my dad taught me was how to learn my tables. Another thing my dad taught me was how to use chopsticks. My dad taught me those because I didn't know how to do them.
Eric




Two things my mum and dad taught me that, when I eat, never to talk or
you'll choke. My mum and dad have  taught me to always be neat and tidy.
Sherine


Two things that my parents have taught me are friendship and manners. Friendship is all about being friend together with someone and if you break a promise, the friendship will be gone. My mum taught me to have good manners. The reason that my parents taught me friendship and manners is because is good to know.
Zoe




One thing my parents have taught me is about the Bermuda Triangle Dad told me that there has been lots of ships and planes that have sunk! My mother has taught me how to brush my teeth as well.
Riley
My dad taught me how to ride a bike and my mum taught me to use the monkey bars.
