The tunnel experience lesson 📖
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.
A new writing unit in MI
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 🙂
Chotting for our character description
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.Â
Character descriptions in MI
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 🙂
Chotting in MI
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.
MI finish their newspaper reports
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.
Producing beautiful work
Crew Godley have been working hard to produce beautiful work, thinking carefully about pencil grip, posture, writing on the line and finger spaces.
MI continue writing their newspaper reports
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.
Super Story Tellers!
In Crew Welburn, we have been looking at the story of Jack and the Beanstalk! The children have loved using the props to re-tell the story, and have used these alongside the book to draw a story map today. The children used their maps to re-tell the story using some of our new words. I was very impressed with the detail that they could remember! Below you can see some examples of work from Aubree, Penelope and Jasper who were all very proud of their achievements…🌟
