This lesson will primarily focus on the Literacy strand of the English curriculum however students will also explore aspects of the Language and Literature strands. Year 2 students will be exploring the use of compound sentences in their own writing and The Pen Pal Club. They will improve standard simple sentences by updating the grammar and vocabulary and generate compound sentences of their own. Students will then write a letter to their chosen pen pal and include the features they have explored throughout the lesson to show their learning.  \nTeachers may wish to organise an excursion to the local Post Office for students to post their letters at the end of these activities.
