English Week 13
Good morning Year 2, I hope you
are enjoying our new story.
Over the next two weeks we are
going to build up to retell the story of Peter Pan. It’s quite a long tale, so
this week we are going to focus on a settings description of Neverland!
I would like you to imagine you
are Wendy, John or Michael flying over Neverland for the very first time!
Lesson 1
LO: To infer a character’s feelings
Let’s say you are flying into and over Neverland for the very first
time! I would like to act like you are! Don’t’ worry no one is watching so have
lots of fun.
Here is a video and some pictures to inspire your imagination!
After you have finished playing, think carefully about how you would
feel if that really happened. How does Wendy feel? Is it different to how
Michael feels? Or John?
Task 1
Can you write 4 sentences describing the different emotions you might
feel at this time?
Choose from the word bank if you are not sure.
Example
I felt elated because I could see for miles and everything looked
magical.
I felt nervous because I had never flown before and it was a long way
down to the ocean.
Lesson 2
LO: To create a word bank
It’s back to using that imagination today!
Remember adjectives are words we use to describe nouns. Expanded noun
phrases are when we use one or more adjectives to describe a noun. For example
beautiful, blue butterfly.
Today I would like you to create a word bank of all the things you could
see and hear whilst flying over Neverland for the first time.
Task
Can you write 5 expanded noun phrases for each
sense?

Crystal, clear waters

Loud, booming cannons
Chomping jaws of the crocodile

Lesson 3
LO:
To write descriptive sentences
Time to put your expanded noun phrases into sentences. Think carefully
about your spelling and handwriting.
Task
Can you use some interesting openers to start your sentences?
I’ve
suggested some underneath, but I’m sure you could think of some creative ones
too.
As I soared below the clouds,
When I looked again,
After we had continued to explore,
Suddenly,
Next to the ship,
Above the waterfall,
Example
As I soared below the clouds, I could see crystal, clear waters
glimmering in the sunlight.
Lesson 4
LO: To edit and re-draft a settings description.
Hopefully you have some creative sentences prepared from yesterday’s
lesson. Today I would like you to improve them even more!
- You could use a dictionary to check your spelling!
- You could improve and up level your vocabulary.
- You could use even neater handwriting.
- You could extend your sentences by adding conjunctions.
