Module 1
Module 1
The first text we read together as a class was The Queen's knickers. We all loved reading this text. We had a lucky job of designing a new pair of knickers for the Queen. Maybe next time we can design some pants for the King!
Throughout this module we have been looking at a range of different texts. All of these texts support our Lines of Inquiry and Central Idea.
We have spent lots of time focusing on retrieval questions this module as in Year 2 it is very important to understand the text we are reading, as well as reading it well. To help us develop our retrieval skills, we have been reading lots of '60 second reads' which has given us access to a range of different texts and question types, which are linked to VIPERS. Here is an example of something that we have been using.
Module 2
Module 2
This module we are reading a range of different texts that all link to our Lines of inquiries focusing on inclusion, differences and prejudice. When reading this texts we will be looking at the different vocabulary that is used, explaining how and why characters feel and inferring information based on what we can read and see. So far we have loved reading The Smeds and the Smoos.
This module has seen us take part in our very first set of SATs reading papers. We have tried very hard and even though some of us found them quite tricky, we are very pleased with ourselves!

We have looked at new vocabulary in the book such as 'ambition' , 'dusk' and 'anxious' and used these words in our own writing. We have also looked at developing our skills at answering retrieval and inference questions and recording our answers in full sentnces. We have also predicted what will happen in the story next based on what has already happened and what we have learnt about the characters.
