Everyone welcome! # Year 2 English- Analysing the Features of the Example Text ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_4212.jpeg) 9 September 2026 Year 2 have been busy in their English lessonS this week. They have been familiarising themselves with a text based on a book called ‘The River’ by Marc Martin. Today, they had to analyse the text for features such as verbs ending in -ed, noun phrases, words to show the passing of time and repetitive phrases. We were particularly impressed with how many -ed verbs they managed to find! Year 2 will soon be using these same features in their own writing. Keep up the good work! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4212.jpeg) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/DE5FC74E-FFC8-45C4-B7C7-23031820458B.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-08-m-m-production-the-new-adventures-of-pinocchio) Previous ### [M&M Production: The New Adventures of Pinocchio ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-08-m-m-production-the-new-adventures-of-pinocchio) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/61CC3F84-3343-42D8-9208-0D6BE83C39BD.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-10-year-4-national-day-of-prayer-for-schools) Next ### [Year 4 - National Day of Prayer for Schools ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-10-year-4-national-day-of-prayer-for-schools) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
