Everyone welcome! # Year 2 English- Features of an Information Text ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/6EDCB1FE-0988-4284-A2FF-FD0FAE9CF772.jpeg) 2 October 2025 Year 2 had great fun playing a game of "Fastest Finger First" to spot the features of an information text. They searched for headings, subheadings, captions, labels, and facts— and did a fantastic job! This activity helped them get ready to write their own information texts about an animal of their choice, using all of these important features. Before they begin writing, they will gather facts by exploring non-fiction books and using the contents page, just as they’ve been learning. To finish off their project, they’ll be creating their own quiz questions to test each other’s knowledge! ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/6EDCB1FE-0988-4284-A2FF-FD0FAE9CF772.jpeg) [Year 2](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6174(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-01-online-safety-ea-sports-fc-26) Previous ### [Online Safety: EA Sports FC 26](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-01-online-safety-ea-sports-fc-26) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7818.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-03-key-stage-1-multi-skills-festival-at-st-bedes) Next ### [Key Stage 1 Multi- Skills Festival at St Bedes ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-03-key-stage-1-multi-skills-festival-at-st-bedes) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.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://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
