The children in Crew Godley were so proud of their writing about our current text, ’Man on the Moon’. Evie and Sofia wrote their sentences independently, we were so proud of them for applying their phonics skills.
Out of this world writers 🌍🪐☄️

Simple, compound and complex sentences
This afternoon, we have been consolidating our knowledge on simple, compound and complex sentences.
Simple – contains one clause
Compound – joins 2 simple sentences together using coordinating conjunctions.
Complex – joins clauses together using subordinating conjunctions.
We are doing our best to fill any gaps on learning before we complete assessments next week.
Cleaning the Moon 🧹 🌙
In our story ’The Man on the Moon’ it is Bob’s job to make sure the moon is clean and tidy. CrewRobson made sure our playground was clean and tidy too with a spot of litter picking! Great work crew!
Cleaning the moon! 🚀🌕
In Crew Marsh, today we landed on the moon!
However, the moon was really messy, so we had to clean it up: we hoovered, we swept, we picked things off the floor, tidied tables and organised books.
The moon is now looking clean but we are feeling very tired and hungry after all our hard work.
Look back tomorrow for the best pieces of writing, as a crew we are going to blog the best ones!
Adapting song/music
Yesterday, we continued with unpicking poetry (a song) and worked as mini crews to rewrite it and adapt the verses. We want to be able to generate as many ideas as possible so that when we write our own poetry for the final product, we have lots of background knowledge to pull from. Some great collaboration and communication demonstrated within mini crews.
Wonderful writers!
Crew Welburn have been working hard on their writing this week in morning jobs and in adult led activities. They’ve used their Fred fingers well to pinch their sounds, and to write their sentences independently. Keep up the hard work Crew Welburn!
Boarding Bob’s spaceship 🚀
Today we have read the next part of our story, where Bob gets changed to board his rocket ship. We loved boarding our class rocket ship and completing a crossword to keep ourselves busy.
Experience day!
Today we started our new writing block with an experience lesson. First, we completed a jigsaw of the front cover and blurb of our new book “Flood”. Then, the children took part in a silent conversation. They annotated the photos from the book with what they noticed, how they might feel and what actions might be happening. The children came up with some fantastic ideas and I was blown away with what they noticed! They even came up with some interesting wonders based on the pictures in the book! I can’t wait to see the ideas they come up with when we start to write our narrative!
The Man on the Moon 🌕🚀
Today we started our second case study and our next core text ‘The Man on the Moon’.
The story who is about Bob, an astronaut, who works on the moon. In a morning he has a slice of toast and a cup of tea so what better way to start our day!
Waking up to travel to the moon 🌕
Today, in Crew Marsh we started our new book.. Man on the Moon.
We acted out the first part of the story where Bob wakes up, makes his toast and cup of tea and then gets ready to go to work on his rocket.
I can’t wait to read the writing tomorrow!
