Year 2 Pen Licenses

The handwriting in Year 2 is so impressive that some children have been given their Pen Licenses before Christmas!!! Amazing! All of the children in Year 2 have been trying extremely hard to improve their letter formation by making sure their letters are the same size, they are writing in cursive and their ascending letters are nice and tall and their descending letters dig under the ground.



Remember, your teachers need to see this beautiful handwriting in every single book before they can give away a special handwriting pen... Make sure you are doing your very best and I am sure you will get your Pen License very soon!

Year 2 are learning to learn...!

Year 2 have had a pretty fantastic first day back! We had a morning of amazing sports and have just been "learning to learn" by looking at our non-negotiables and practicing using them. These include things like underlining and crossing out using a ruler and a pencil, using a green pen to check other people's work and using cursive handwriting. We checked some of Miss Derby's  writing that she did this morning and we found quite a few mistakes! (Sorry Year 2 - looks like I left my brain at home over the holidays!)

We spotted the things that she needed to change and had a go at copying her writing using our non-negotiables. Here are some photos of us making changes and improving her work.



Speaking of fantastic presentation, we've had a lot of children earning their pen licence in Year 2 recently...

Year 2's pen licences!

Year 2 have been working really hard on their presentation and handwriting, and we are super proud to say that this week we gave out our first ever Year 2 pen licences during our celebration assembly!

What fantastic handwriting they have! They have all worked really hard to make sure that all of their letters are formed correctly, start and finish in the right place and are all joined up correctly.

If you haven't got your pen licence yet, keep working hard and ask your teacher for your Orange Next Steps in your handwriting! Some of you are trying so hard already and we're very impressed. Keep up the good work.
