English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D)

EAL/D Co-Teaching in Year 2

Last term, Year 2 students explored vocabulary through drama using the wordless picture book Flora and the Penguin. Together, they identified verbs to describe the characters’ ice dance, such as glide, twirl and spin. Students then worked with a partner to create and perform their own ice dance using these action words. It was wonderful to see students confidently using their new vocabulary as they collaborated and expressed the story through movement.
