Today Crew Shields have been working on writing poems about the negatives of bullying. This is building on from the learning we started yesterday after watching a video that had themes around bullying and disabilities. We’ve discussed how we should build each other up, not tear them down.

Beautiful Work in Crew Godley
Today, as a crew, after our handwriting session we decided that we would like to share with each other the amazing progress we had made with our handwriting this term. We collaborated and decided to carry out a gallery walk to showcase our most improved piece. We then ‘noticed’, ’praised’ and ’wondered’ whilst critiquing our handwriting. We just had to share the amazing progress of one young man, Harrylee. He won’t mind me sharing that he finds handwriting difficult and would rather be climbing a tree! Just look at that smile when he realised how much positive praise he had received from his crew today 🥰🥰 We have some great cursive handwriting developing daily from our crew. Keep up the great work Crew Godley!
Our gallery walk of beautiful work 🖼
Throughout case study 2 science we have been given time to reflect and answer our guiding question ’How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Through answering this we used our writing skills and wrote a science report. Check out all of Crew Mc’s beautiful work below… we even gave critique focusing on our beautiful presentation and gave out prizes for the top 3 designs. We just need to respond to writing feedback and work with our peers to revise our writing to ensure Y6 quality.
MI’s very own press conference!
Today we took part in an experience day as part of our writing unit. This was to support the newspaper articles we are writing. We read a chapter of our text then watched a video clip to give us some ideas on what a press conference looks like. We then got into role of the characters from the story and explored questions that these characters would get asked. Finally, we put all our hard work into our very own press conference! Children did so well getting into role, thinking about responses the characters would say along with thinking about their body language and facial expressions.
Press conference – writing experience day
In writing, we had an experience day exploring the dialogue that the characters for our newspaper article could have. We watched this section of Pig Heart Boy and recorded the types of questions they asked. It was great seeing their drama skills come out but importantly having fun with the activity.
Carcroft Chronicles – Pig Heart Boy
Our newspaper articles for Pig Heart Boy are well underway in Crew Shields. Some lovely vocabulary and trying to include all our cohesive devices.
Newspaper planning in MI
Today we started planning our newspaper reports. We thought about a catchy headline and tried to use alliteration. We thought about the 5 W’s creating our introduction. When then chotted down ideas for PP1 and PP2. Great work by all this morning 🙂
Revising our newspaper articles
Crew Shields – Newspaper Cafe
Crew Shields have explored newspapers and had the opportunity to read some articles.
They provided praises, notices and wonders about the articles. They did a great job picking out the features of a newspaper report.
Independent writing in MI
Today children finished their independent writing and we are blown away by what they have produced. They have worked so hard by having a positive attitude towards their learning and trying their best even when things were challenging. They used their planning sheets well to support their writing. Also they have worked on the get smart howl by ensuring they produced beautiful work they are proud of. We will now start editing and redrafting our work so it is even better! Keep it up MI 🙂
