By children in Crew McLoughlin.

While Miss was working with part of the class to redraft a plot point, we were independently up-levelling our Tudor diary writing. Our diary is all about attending a royal Tudor banquet and we have been editing and improving it using ‘ARMS’ to add, remove, move and substitute ideas.

We have been including what we learned in grammar lessons, like expanded noun phrases, pronouns, adverbials, subordinating and coordinating conjunctions and parenthesis.

Our diary writing shows how the Tudors lived their daily lives and how sometimes their punishments didn’t fit the crime. We have really enjoyed revising our plot points and becoming more independent confident editors of our own work. We are proud of how much our writing has improved!
