Charlie has been working hard at home to create his own Roman book called “Roman Rampage”. Charlie shared this in crew this morning and we were all blown away with the information in it. Charlie had included lots of expedition knowledge about the Romans and included his own drawings to support his writing! ✏️✍️
Today we have snuck to Grandma’s house as the wolf and got in her bed!!
Today, we have been writing PP4 of our writing. We have had to spend time practicing how to compose sentences that make sense as well as how to use the chotting to support our writing.
To help us with our plot point in writing, Crew Hamill became Roman Soldiers for the morning. We went outside and took part in all the activities Roman soldiers have to do when they first join the army. Their basic training last for a whole four months – we were tired after just doing it for half an hour! We did a route march, some weapon training, battle drills and a keep fit class.
Wow, wow, wow! Crew MI have blown me away today in our writing lesson. Today we edited and redrafted two sections of our narrative. I am so proud of what we have achieved today and I can’t wait for our next lesson. We have really got smart by reflecting on our achievements and challenging ourselves to improve.
In our writing lesson today, we have focussed on developing our editing and redrafting skills. First, we read the writing to see if it makes sense. Then, we checked it for features such as: capital letters, full stops, spellings, fronted adverbials and conjunctions. We discussed how we use purple pen to edit the errors in our work. Tomorrow, we will continue to write plot point 4 so we can put our editing and redrafting skills into practice.
We started our new writing topic today by reading Little Red Riding Hood. Then, we chose items for our baskets to send to Granny’s house🏡We talked about which foods are healthy 🍌🍓🍎and not healthy.🍬🧁We chose which foods we would like when we are sick like Granny👵🏻.
This morning we started writing plot point 3. First, we discussed what we was going to be writing about and picked out the important information from our text. We then chotted our ideas about the strict Roman disciplines and wrote a shared write together. We focussed on including fronted adverbials and coordinating conjunctions and came up with some fantastic examples of these. The writing Crew Thompson produced today was fantastic!
During todays writing lesson the children were thinking about how Little Red Riding Hood traveled to see her Grandma and what she might have seen during her journey. They used their phonics skills to write the words and used small world figures and blocks to create the cottages. There was lots of great vocabulary during this activity which enabled the children to create brilliant sentences! What a great lesson we’ve had today ✍️
