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 ✍️
Today we created our own baskets to take to Grandma some treats 🍰🧁 We loved making our baskets and discussing the traditional tale – Little Red Riding Hood. We kept our eyes out for the mischievous wolf 🐺 We thought about how Little Red Riding Hood moved through the forest and how her facial expressions changed when she spotted the wolf 🐺 We all looked after our buns and didn’t eat them until the end!
Today we created our own baskets to take to Grandma who was feeling poorly at the other side of the woods. We loved making our baskets and discussing the traditional tale – Little Red Riding Hood. We all looked after our buns and didn’t eat them until the end!
We continued our grammar work today where we looked at the conjunctions and but because. We did lots of chotting and shared writing before having a go at our own sentences. We will continue to practice these conjunctions 🙂
On Wednesday, we celebrated Roald Dahl day by watching clips from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We talked about what we would have in our own factory. Then, we wrote about Rice Krispy cakes using phonics and to practice our writing skills. 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
What a ‘PHIZZ WHIZZING’ 🌟 day it was across UKS2 this morning! Today I had the pleasure of sharing my love of Roald Dahl books with Crew McLoughlin, Crew MI and Crew Boswell. In Crew McLoughlin we looked at some of my favourite Roald Dahl books including Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG. The children also shared some of their favourite books. We then looked at some information about Roald Dahl including his personal life, work life and great achievements. Our most interesting finding was that he was a spy at the age of 25, during WW2! The children then created some information leaflets so that they could share their knowledge about Roald Dahl with others. In Crew MI, we started by learning who Roald Dahl was, what he was famous for and why we celebrate him on this specific date (his birthday! 🎈) We then collaboratively, through echo and chorus reading, read an extract from the BFG. The children then used this to draw what they thought the BFG looked like based on the description that Roald Dahl had written. The children’s drawings were ‘SPLENDIFEROUS’! In Crew Boswell, we started by reading some interesting facts about Roald Dahl including his early life, his school life, his role during WW2, his children, the books he wrote and how he spent his later life. We couldn’t believe how many books he had written (49!) and how many had been translated into over 50 different languages so that they can be enjoyed worldwide! We also enjoyed looking at ‘GOBBLEFUNK’ (words invented by Roald Dahl!). The children finished the session by making posters all about Roald Dahl. After a busy morning and lots of hard work we were all definitely ready for ‘SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS’! 😋🍽
Today we wrote our first plot point 🙂 We used all the chotting we created yesterday to help us in our shared write then we applied our own ideas to our work. We used the action, notice, hear and feelings lenses to help us to build our sentences.
After taking part in our experience lesson yesterday, we started to think about adjectives and expanded noun phrases in our grammar session. We thought about the first two pages of the story we had read yesterday and chotted using some of the lenses. We created expanded noun phrases based on the pictures. We then took part in a shared write using the language we had just built. Finally we created our own sentences in our books 🙂
