The past couple of weeks we have been narrating, critiquing and revising The Lorax. As we had finished this piece it was time to show off on Friday to our audience – year 3. It was motivating to have a purpose and the opportunity to share our work as Miss Mcloughlin reads lots of our work. We beamed with pride as we knocked on Crew Gerrard’s and Crew Flaherty’s door ready to show off our beautiful work. It was also lovely to see some year 3s reading their writing back too and giving kind critique 😀

During a critique session, Miss began by modelling how to critique a piece of Y6 writing. We then had confidence to help and work as a crew – this really helped us with how this would look when revising our own writing. 

We then focused on our peers’ independent plot point 1 writing. Using the gold and green standards, we assessed how well the writing met the criteria. We then up-levelled some sentences to try and improve cohesion and flow as well as Y6 quality. After we discussed praises, notices and wonders, we returned to our own writing and tried to improve the content and quality. We have loved narrating The Lorax and cannot wait to read it to our audience – Year 3 and 4.
