By children in Crew McLoughlin.

While Miss was working with part of the class to redraft a plot point, we were independently up-levelling our Tudor diary writing. Our diary is all about attending a royal Tudor banquet and we have been editing and improving it using ‘ARMS’ to add, remove, move and substitute ideas.

We have been including what we learned in grammar lessons, like expanded noun phrases, pronouns, adverbials, subordinating and coordinating conjunctions and parenthesis.

Our diary writing shows how the Tudors lived their daily lives and how sometimes their punishments didn’t fit the crime. We have really enjoyed revising our plot points and becoming more independent confident editors of our own work. We are proud of how much our writing has improved!

Crew McLoughlin has had a fun and creative learning experience today in order to redraft a plot point of their diary.We took part in an imaginative role-play activity, where we pretended to be a Tudor getting ready to attended a special banquet. We imagined waking up, getting dress and walking into the hall. This is to help us write a diary about our day- what we saw, felt and did.
