In reading we explored a new text, we used a range of strategies when reading out loud including echo read, partner reading, read around the robin as well as trying to beat a timer to increase our pace. We then unpicked some of the vocabulary using a range of strategies to help us. Whilst reading we text marked, one of the things we circled were dates. Our non fiction text included lots of dates which were really useful to know when it came to answering questions later in the session. We then took part in a vocabulary activity which assessed our understanding of the vocabulary we had previously discussed. We looked at both synonyms and antonyms for some of the vocabulary we had highlighted in our texts as well as thinking of some of our own examples. We then moved onto answering questions which included a range of sats style questions. Some of us then moved onto green standard questions where we had to use APE to answer the 3 mark questions. A positive attitude by all in todays lesson, well done MI 🙂
