In our writing lesson today we have been ordering pictures from the Ice Age clip, to help us order and sort our writing. This is preparation for our independent write next week.

Edit and redraft in MI
Today we critiqued a crew members habitat section of their non chronological report. We thought about sentences where target grids had been used then we unpicked and redrafted sentences that needed to be better. We all worked well in mini crews to do this before giving feedback to the whole crew. We then applied what we had learnt to our own work, editing and redrafting our own sentences. We are getting much more confident in this part of the writing sequence.
Writing
Today in writing they were ordering pictures from the movie Ice Age ,ready to start their independent write next week.They used the movie clips to help them.
Edit and redrafting in MI

Writing to discuss 🗣️
Independent write 🧊🦣✏️
This morning, we have had our experience lesson for our independent write. We sequenced the pictures of the video and then chotted some ideas and vocabulary we might use. We then completed our planning sheet with lots of year 3 features such as fronted adverbials, conjunctions and ambitious vocabulary.
Editing
This morning in writing, we have been spending time editing our learning from yesterday. We needed some time to ensure our writing was punctuated correctly and that we had wrote in chunks of sense. Before starting to edit our writing, we spent some time reading each others work and supporting each other with where we needed to make some corrections.
Writing -PP4
Yesterday, we continued with our Ice Age narrative writing. We watched the video to remind ourselves what we’d be writing about before chotting down some ideas. After this, we completed a shared write together. Then it was time for children to write independently.
Science Write up
In science, we have been continuing to look at the effects of global warming by conducting some experiments. Our experiment was looking at how temperature is effected based on the conditions. We placed one thermometer in a plastic container and one in a glass container before recording the results at regular intervals. We found that the glass container held the heat because it created a greenhouse effect and trapped the heat.
Scientific report
In our science lesson today, we wrote up our scientific reports from our investigation, which was investigating temperatures of water in a glass and in a plastic cup (which represents the greenhouse affect). We started by writing our own predictions.
