Today we explored pronouns…
Today we worked as a crew to edit and improve our peers first chunk of writing then we started on our own. We tried really hard to use our target grids to improve our work.
Working hard on our diary entries 🙂
This afternoon, Crew Hamill’s grammar focused on sorting sentences into their different sentence types – commands, statements, questions and exclamations. We found questions much easier because we knew they ended with a question mark ❓ but we managed to sort them all correctly!
In writing, we have started plot point 2 of our recount about our visit to Yorkshire Wildlife Park. We are really enjoying writing about our trip and have come up with some amazing vocabulary and ideas. We can’t wait to continue to write this next week.
Today, in crew Pashley, for writing we finished writing our set of instructions on how to make a jam sandwich 🥪. We included some adjectives to describe the jam.
After all the conkers fell on our head yesterday, today we opened our eyes to see that it was Carla (a bird) wrapped up in a washing line!! Carla was hungry, so we had to help her. We had a challenged to try and pinch a sandwich using cocktail sticks from Percy the Park Keeper. We used cocktail sticks to represent our hedgehog spikes. We also practised our rolling skills to see if we could stick the sandwich to our back.
In Crew Haddock,we have been writing about our experience day.
Today we started reading Percy the Parker keeper has a flying visit. We loved reading the first part of the book and experience what it must have felt like when the hedgehog was chilling under the tree in the park until bonkers fell down and bashed his head.
We looked up at the sky and shared what we could see, we then acted out what the hedgehog might have done when the conkers fell.
Today we watched and unpicked a section of the Jungle Book film, thinking about how Mowgli feels in certain situations. We got into role, becoming Mowgli, making his feelings come to life. We were then introduced to our new writing genre, a diary entry. We started to think about what a diary is and the features needed. We explored a model text and then unpicked the different features. We talked about how a diary is different to our previous genres. We talked about our own experiences of diaries and if we write them at home. We then looked at Mrs McClare’s example of Mowgli’s diary and what was included. This afternoon we have moved onto some grammar learning- using time adverbials. We tried to build sentences together and with our partners. We will be applying everything we have learnt in our grammar lesson tomorrow.
