Good morning Year 2,

Our Headteacher Awards for today go to Conrad, Lexi, Macy, Grace, Isobel and Antony. Well done to the six of you! Please read the newsletter to find out what their awards are for. http://ctknewsletters.blogspot.com/

Reading 

We will spend the first part of this week learning the text 'Where's My Teddy?', using the resource link below. Today we would like you to talk about the story before watching it.
1. Look at the front cover at the top of the page – what do you think the story will be about?
2. Watch the story to find out what it is about.

The Elves and the Shoemaker
This is the start of our second writing pack. Please focus on pages 4-6, which require you to read the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker Story. Then share the story with someone you live with and record what you think of the story. The link for this pack is below.
