In writing today we wrote about the polar bears and what we could see in the pictures from our experience day.

Christmas writing continues in MI
Today we wrote our second plot point continuing our Christmas setting description. We have all really loved this piece of writing where we have tried hard to use expanded noun phrases, similes, conjunctions and adverbials across both plot point one and plot point two. Great work MI 🙂
Identifying formal and informal language
This morning, Crew Mc have learned the difference between formal and informal language. We worked in pairs to match the similar sentences together – We understand that these sentences mean the same but can be written differently (formally or informally).
The Polar Express – Christmas writing
Last week, we finished our Christmas writing. The children spent some time reading their writing aloud to their peers to ensure that it was punctuated accurately and that it made sense. This has been their best piece yet where children met all the learning targets and showed some stamina for writing. I’m excited to see what their next piece brings…
Chotting, shared writing and PP1 in MI
Today we continued with our Christmas writing where we used a variety of pictures to help us to chot adjectives, expanded noun phrases and similes. We showed some great collaborative working in mini crews, listening to each other and offering ideas. We then used our ideas in our shared write before applying to our own work. Unfortunately our presentation of work was not to the best standard today so we all worked hard to rewrite our work ensuring we thought about our letter formation, taking more pride in our work. We were proud in the difference in our work and now we all look forward to writing our second plot point.
Christmas writing starts in MI
Today we completed a grammar lesson on similes that will support us when writing our Christmas setting description. Some great ideas and many of us pushed for green standard today 🙂
Polar Express
Yesterday, we started to look at our next writing unit. We thought it only fitting to do some Christmas writing as that will be a lovely way to end the term off.
We are using a short scene from The Polar Express and writing a narrative. We started by sequencing the events in the video and generating some vocabulary that could help us.
