Today in writing, we have continued to build our knowledge about tectonic plates in preparation for when we write our next plot point. We watched some videos and chotted down loads of facts to support us in writing.

We then did a shared write which allowed Miss Shields to model how to put the facts into sentences.

In writing, it was a perfect opportunity to complete a recount after our visit to Magna. To help us prepare for the writing day, we spent some time ordering the events in chronological order. While the children completed the activity, I could hear the children starting to use time adverbials as they ordering them which will be one of our focus areas for writing.

Once we were happy the events were in order, we used our fronted adverbials word mats to start thinking about the ones that would be most appropriate for our writing. We then shared these back and created a bank of fronted adverbials that could be used when we write our recount.
