		Lesson Plan Year 2: Alternative Endings to Traditional Tales
		-Year 2 were really motivated when writing their alternative versions to traditional tales in 2Create. Jack and the Beanstalk was used as the stimulus for gathering ideas. The children enjoyed planning in 2Connect because they could edit their ideas and take them with them into 2Create as they wrote. Adding animation brought their stories to life and helped them produce focussed work that their teacher felt was of a higher standard than usual because of the use of ICT. Click on the stories to read them in full, or the links to see the planning for each story.

		- Children used the internet researching different fruits and vegetables. These results were displayed using 2Connect. The children then chose a favourite fruit then vegetable to state as their favourite and to offer reasons for this. 2Create was used to display this.
		- Year 2 class went on a 'sound' walk around their school. They took digital photographs, discussed and recorded sounds that they heard. They made a 2Create class book based on the walk.
