This week we will be writing recounts of a day in the life of a fire fighter in preparation for our work on the Great Fire of London. The word bank above will be a useful tool in supporting their writing, Many of the words featured above are part of the Year 2 age related expectation criteria for reading and spelling. The children will also be expected to write in the correct tense so they will need to apply spelling rules learned in previous weeks. If you have the opportunity over the coming week see how confidently your child can read the words, spell them and / or put them into a grammatically correct sentence. Recounts are much more than I went to the park etc. Is your child ready for the challenge?
