Grade Two Writing 

The Year Twos have been working hard with their Writing this Term. They have been learning about the elements and structure of Information Reports and different styles of Poetry. Whilst exploring the concept of life, students learnt all about chickens and wrote information reports about them. During Poetry, students explored various poetry styles such as Limericks, Cinquains, Kennings and Colour Poems. All students should be very proud of their achievements this Term!

Chickens

A chicken is a bird that we use for meat, eggs and feathers. Chickens have short wings and a heavy body, this makes it hard for them to fly. Male chickens are called roosters, they usually have brighter coloured feathers. Female chickens are called hens and are usually brown or white. Chickens have this thing called a wattle, its a skin that hangs from their throat. Chickens also have a piece of skin that sticks up from the top of their head, this is called a comb. Farmers keep chickens inside buildings and are fed grain and corn. Chickens roost inside at night, this helps them be safe. Did you know that hens can lay over 200 egg a year? Fun fact, A T-Rex is a relative of a chicken!

Flightless gentle

Swimming freezing eating

Wondering in the cold arctic

Green

Green is the colour of the trees.

Green is the colour of the grass.

Green smells like lettuce.

Green tastes like cucumber.

Green sounds like calm relaxing music.

Green looks like leaves.

Green feels like calm things.

Green makes me calm.

Green is my favourite colour.

There was a man from Spain

That always loved the rain

He fell on his dog

Because of the frog

That poor old man from Spain

There once was a Lady from Cairns

Who had gigantic hands

She could drum

Just using her thumb

And now she’s joined a band
