I’d been looking for a map with cities and mountains of the UK and, not only was this one perfect but I also got it free!

We're so pleased to hear that you found this FreeBee useful, Katy!

FREE Mini-Scheme: Ocean Animals

Thanks, Jo!

Love PlanBee. Amazing site and very useful resources available. Will definitely recommend to others.

Thank you for your comments, Mrs Lampard! We are a small team of five ex-teachers, so we really appreciate your feedback :-)

Super content matched to our school’s knowledge progression maps. I liked the embedded videos and QR code opportunities to view sources independently on tablets. I think the choice to buy individual lessons could be made clearer on the website. I liked the option to only buy the history content. The planning considered requirements of the NC eg thinking like historians and handling sources. Great unit of work. Thank you!

Hi Elaine, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review - we're so pleased to hear that you like our resources. We are just a small team of five ex-teachers, so we really appreciate your feedback :-)

Writing Year 2

Writing for Year 2

Writing for Year 2 KS1. English homework help with writing stories, informal letters, postcards, unordered lists, instructions and sentence starters.

Pick a level

Planning what to write.

Before you write, say out loud what you are going to write. Does your sentence sound right? Once it sounds ok, write it down.

Checking your work

Once you have finished your writing, read it out loud to see if it makes sense. Happy with it? That's great! Think you could change something to make it sound better? Then do it!

For a final check read your work clearly to someone.

Ways to say 'said'

There are many different words you can use instead of 'said'.

Story Planning

Every story has a main character(s), a setting and a plot.

Main character(s) - the main person or people in your story.

Setting - Think about when and where your story is taking place.

Plot - This is what happens in your story. There is usually and problem in the story and a solution (how the problem is fixed).

Story order

Every story has a beginning, a middle and an end.

Beginning - This is where we find out who the main characters in the story are. We also describe the setting (when and where) where the story takes place.

Middle - Here we find out the problem.

End - At the end of the story the problem is solved and we find out what happens to the characters of the story. Did they change because of what had happened?

Use your story plan to help you write your story. Write a beginning, a middle and an end.

Beginning of sentences

To make your writing more interesting you can start your sentences in different ways. Here are some ideas:

After walking for a while, they came across the house.

Out of nowhere a car came round the corner.

At the end of the road was a junction.

Writing letters

You can practice writing letters in lots of ways. Some ideas are below:

• Ask a friend at school to become your pen pal and exchange letters.
• Invite your friend to come over for tea by writing to them.
• Except a party invitation by writing a letter.
• Surprise members of your family by posting them a letter about something you have done recently.
• Write a letter to a character from a story. For example, a letter of apology from Goldilocks to the Three Bears.

Informal Letters

Informal letters are used when writing to friends and family. This could be a thank you letter for birthday or Christmas presents, or you could be writing to tell them some exciting news.

Unordered Lists

Instructions.

To write good instructions do the following:

Give your instructions a title. Watering the garden.

Write a list of what is needed: Watering can, water, plants

Number the instructions as you go:

• Fill the watering can up with water.
• Carefully pour the water onto the plants near the soil.
• Once the watering can is empty, fill it up again.
• Continue watering the plants until they are all done.
• Use bossy words such as press, stir, cut, mix.
• Use short clear sentences .
• Use diagrams or pictures.

• Your guide to KS1 SATs success – a beginner's guide with activities to help your child prepare

Is your child's learning on track?

Number bonds, partitioning, 2D and 3D shapes and telling the time – all skills children master in KS1 and are tested on in Y2 SATs . Check your child's progress and understanding with our Y2 maths Progress checks , designed to help you spot any gaps in their knowledge so you can support them with extra practice and activities at home. Working with phonemes to read and write, learning to spell high frequency words, using non-fiction texts and creating stories... literacy is demanding in Year 2. Check your child's progress and identify any areas they need extra practice in with our Y2 English Progress checks .

The Parents' Guide to Year 2 Maths

Number bonds... counting in ‘hops’... using grids and number lines... this is the norm for our kids, but it means very little to us. That's because maths lessons today take on a rather different form to those from our own school days. Forget tedious hours of solving endless sums; The Parents' Guide to Year 2 Maths , packed with great maths games and activities, will guide you through everything you need to know for maths in Year 2 and help your child towards KS1 SATs success.

Year 2 English Homework

For many parents, homework is the only picture they get of what their child does at school. For this reason, Hamilton have put a great deal of effort into writing suitable, fun and home-friendly activities for children and parents to share together. Children will benefit and so will parents and teachers!

The activities rehearse core literacy skills that you may wish children to practise or keep on the boil. Read our English homework blog for more advice about using them.

Select interesting words to describe a cold and frosty morning in a list poem.

Recognise where a letter comes in the alphabet, at the beginning, in the middle or at the end by sorting a list of family names.

Identify compound words by writing a list of objects found around the home.

Consider choice of words carefully when writing clues to finding items hidden around the home.

Practise reading and spelling words linked to fairy tales by playing a game of hangman.

Write an alphabetical list of words linked to a sport or activity.

Learn to form letters correctly in writing.

Organise writing about a special person into an information poster.

Use their imagination to write sentences about fairy tale characters.

Practise writing questions and answers based on questions asked by their parents.

Use known facts about a fairy tale character to make a 'Wanted' poster.

Practise using commas to write list sentences of items bought at a shop.
