MI started the day well in our challenge crew session. MI had to work together to pass around objects without making a sound. As we made progress with this, we added more objects, changed the direction in the circle and added time limits. A great sense of team work and encouragement from all.

MI have started planning their independent write today. We built our own target grids based on the features from the rubric that we had used previously in our first narrative and used the lenses too. We then used our graphic organiser well to build our own ideas. Children used post it notes to build some of their own sentences using both their target grids and graphic organiser as support. I can’t wait for children to get writing tomorrow and to read their first plot point.

MI’s first sentence stackers 🙂 There has been some great writing happening in MI over the last 2 weeks and it has been lovely adding everyones sentences to our display 🙂

MI had great handwriting session this afternoon. They thought about the work hard howl by ensuring they had a positive attitude to their learning but they also thought about the get smart howl by producing beautiful work they are proud of. MI were really engaged and are really trying hard to form all letters correctly whilst finding their own consistent style.
