Experience lesson in writing
In our writing lesson today we generated a range of adjectives to describe the trees, grass and birds in our picture. We got to feel the grass, bark and twigs and listen to birds tweeting.
Our next writing unit in MI
Last Friday was our first experience day of our new writing unit. We watched a clip of a girl who attended the Martin Luther King Jr’s speech. We reflected on what we had seen then built ideas from the clip using our senses and some of the writing lenses. We took part in a gallery walk to magpie ideas for our mini crew and praised each groups ideas. Finally, we built some figurative language based on what we will write about in plot point 1 of our setting descriptions.
Today we took part in a grammar day with a focus on cohesive devices. We firstly watched some clips looking at main clauses and subordinate clauses. We consolidated our knowledge through a variety of activities before building our own sentences using subordinating conjunctions within sentences and at the start of sentences. We worked with our partner well to move sentences around. During our afternoon session, we looked at adverbials and experimented with prepositional phrases. We unpicked a model of writing then finally built our own sentences using different adverbials and prepositional phrases. Here you can see some of our work as well as our anchor chart showing all the work we have built together. I can’t wait for you to get writing PP1.
Week 2 in Crew Welburn
We had lots of fun in Crew Welburn last week. We explored our provision areas, began working on our final product plant pots so that the base coats were dry, and began looking at how the numbers 4 and 5 are made within our maths lessons. We also had a go at challenging ourselves to independently make and write words using our phonics sounds! Miss Welburn was very impressed with our Fred talk and blending.
Y2 sharing their writing!
Y2 have loved sharing their writing about Stan and Mabel with the Y1’s. It was great to hear the children share their work proudly and they all read their work beautifully.
Hooked into our writing
Our next plot point is about the next two characters we meet on our travels – two rabbits called Roberta and Bobby. Ask us what instruments they play!
Scientific report writing in MI
After completing one of our science investigations in hook week, we used our previous knowledge to write up the investigation in the form of a scientific report. Here are some examples of our work. We ensured we had a clear aim, hypothesis, independent and dependent variables, equipment, a method, results and a conclusion. Some great writing MI 🙂
Writing experience lesson – we built a bridge!
For our next plot point in our writing we are describing a bridge and an oboe playing duck called Roady.
Crew MI- Science investigations
Last week, Crew MI learnt all about light. We investigated how light travels and learnt that it travels in straight lines. We explored what would happen if we blocked the light if we moved cardboard. Here are some of our fantastic science reports.
