Year 2 Phonics In phonics this week we will be practising two spelling rules. Today we are going to find the words that are on the spelling list for both sets of rules. I have mixed the words into a word search. Can you find all the words on the list hidden in the grid? When you have found each word write it out again on the back as extra practise. Enjoy the word search!

Writing task

This week we have been learning all about instructions and how to use verbs and adverbs to write a set of instructions. Today we would like you to think of another Stone Age animal that needs a good wash. Plan out a set of instructions of how to get them into the bath for a good scrub.

Draw what equipment you will need and then draw 4 pictures to show how you are going to wash your Stone age animal. Remember today is just pictures for you to use in the next lesson when you will be writing a set of instructions.

Draw and label what equipment you will need and then draw 6 pictures to show how you are going to wash your Stone Age animal. Remember today is just pictures to use for the next lesson when you will be writing a set of instructions.
