Parachute investigation, by Mrs Percival

Date: 10th Feb 2022 @ 11:48am

Dragons cause mayhem in Year 2, by Miss Jones

Date: 18th Jan 2022 @ 4:42pm

Dragons have cause mayhem in the year 2 classroom today. The children enjoyed looking for clues to help work out what the dragons were doing in our class during lunchtime.
They were very mischievous, little things!

We used the clues to write sentences using verbs to tell someone else what the dragons had been up to. We also imagined what they would be doing if they were still here!

Ask your child to tell you some of the things those naughty dragons were doing.
