LKS2 Celebration of Learning Event 🌍⛰🧑‍🎤🎶📖

During Hook Week, as part of The Write Stuff, all of the pupils in LKS2 wrote an invite to invite all family members to our COL event. We then created a shared invite and sent this to our COMMS Team at XP alongside our ‘rasterbator’ creation. Last week, we received our final products to hand out to our grown ups! We were super impressed with them! Hopefully your child has given you one and we would love to see you all on Wednesday 12th July at 2pm.

Planning – writing

Once we had finished assessments, it was time to get cracking with our writing in preparation for the final product.

Today, we critiqued a model text and gave praises, notices and wonders before starting to plan out what we’ll write about in each stanza.

We’re looking forward to writing the poems and then sharing them with the community.

Super letter formation! 🖊

Arya has really been enjoying her phonics lessons and has been using role play to work on her letter formation. She has been teaching the ‘m’ lesson and did a beautiful representation of Maisie, mountain, mountain – you can even spot Maisie stood next to the two mountains! Excellent work Arya!

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 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.
