• Writing Examples - Year 2

We have uploaded some examples of writing showing end of Year 2 expectations along with the writing checklist that your children will use in class.

Letter formation is extremely important. As the children progress through Year 2, we encourage them to develop their precursive handwriting from year 1 into cursive handwriting. Please see the resource below which can be used to help practise this. This will support the children joining their handwriting as the year progresses.
