Year 2

Good morning year 2’s. Here is today’s learning tasks for you.

Handwriting

Practice the following words. Make sure the letters are the correct size and the joins are clear.

Can you write the words in sentences with a capital letter and correctly punctuated.

Challenge- can you include a conjunction? For example: but, and, yet, so, or, because, while

Literacy

Joining words, or coordinating conjunctions, are words like and, because, if and when.

We can use them to link two ideas together.

For example: We will need a net and we will need a box too.

A good thing about the joining words because, if and when, is that we can use them at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. For example:

• You will need to be prepared because your monster might try to escape.
• Because your monster might try to escape, you will need to be prepared.
• 
  Take a look at this video about co-ordinating conjunctions.
