The final week!
I hope you are all excited about coming back to school
at the end of the holiday. You are going to have an
amazing time in Year 2!
So this is the last chance for all you at home to be part of a zoom meeting and have a
chat to your friends before the start of the long summer break. Just get in touch via e mail
and say which time suits you best. If people show interest one will be held at the time most
popular.
Unfortunately I presume everybody at home was really busy last week as we didn't hear from anyone so the decision was made not to hold a meeting.

Today we are looking at alliteration.
Alliteration is the repetition of the sound or letter at the beginning of each word in a phrase.
So as an introduction I would like you focus on the animals from the Monkey Puzzle book and think of describing words which begin with the same letter.
For example: Frog - funny, friendly, floppy, fantastic.
You can write them in your red book or use the format which we are going to be using in class (see below).
