Our grammar lesson started with a mini assessment that challenged our pace and got us thinking about different types of grammar. We then moved onto looking at relative clauses along with relative pronouns. There are some great supportive role models in MI who continue to get smart every lesson. Our grammar knowledge continues to improve every day.
In our learning labs this week we have have some phonic challenges to apply our knowledge of letters and sounds. Oliver was so proud of himself when he wrote ’panic’ independently. Its been great fun 🔤
To hook is into our new writing we looked into our new book – The Tunnel.
We pieced together the book front cover, predicted what might happen, crawled through a tunnel and acted out how the character might be feeling.
Today we started our new writing unit where we built lots of language to support our first plot point. We used the lenses well to build ideas 🙂
We have started to gather y6 quality vocabulary, phrases and figurative language to help us with our writing. We focussed on the appearance of the character from our newspaper article and then applied some of the chotting we did to our own sentences.
Today we used our chotting ideas from yesterday to start writing our plot point on our characters appearance. There was some great language being used along with figurative language 🙂
Today we started thinking about our next piece of writing, a character description. We focussed on the appearance of the character from our newspaper article, chotting lots of different language and vocabulary that we could use. We then started to think about figurative language and built some ideas in mini crews. We then applied some of the chotting we did to our own sentences. We will use these tomorrow when we start to write our plot point.
Some beaming faces today in MI 🙂 Children completed their final draft of their newspaper reports and felt such pride when this was finished. Such fantastic writing! Even though we found the piece extremely challenging, MI showed such determination and resilience throughout the piece.
Crew Godley have been working hard to produce beautiful work, thinking carefully about pencil grip, posture, writing on the line and finger spaces.
Today we continued to write our newspaper reports where we used some direct speech to quote what the victims wife would have said about the events that had happened. We used the knowledge we had gained in our grammar lesson earlier in the morning to write our quotes effectively, remembering all the features of speech.
