The Write Stuff ✏️
This week in writing we have been writing a setting description linking to our stimulus The Jungle Book. We have done two grammar days to consolidate prepositional phrases and figurative language. We have completed our first draft and we’re eager to share to our audience – our Carcroft blog. So here is a sneak peak of some of our hard work so far. Watch this space as we will share again when we have critiqued and revised to up-level our writing.
Disclaimer: Jack had the idea to read in a David Attenborough voice and Lydia went for it!
To write an effective description, you need to “think beyond what a character sees, and provide a sensory feast for readers.”
Telling time…
In magic maths, we have been looking at how to tell the time. We had a quick recap before having a go ourselves.
Chotting in writing
In writing, we worked together to chot some ideas before doing a shared write.
Sticky Knowledge…
This afternoon, we spent some time doing purple pen in our expedition books. Some of us used the sticky knowledge wall to help us make our corrections.
Art 🖌️🎨in Crew Pashley
This week, in Art, we have practicing our art skills using cocktail sticks to create brightly coloured spike patterns for our hedgehogs.
Prefix or Suffix?
In our grammar lesson this afternoon, we looked at what prefixes and suffixes are and what they do to a root word. We found out that a prefix goes at the start of a word and a suffix is added at the end of the word. We played the prefix pair game, where we matched up the correct prefix to the root word. We had lots of fun and was then able to apply this to our independent learning task.
Technology Safari 👀🔎🖥
In our computing lesson today, we went on a technology safari. The aim of this lesson was to be able recognise technology. We walked around the school looking for things that contained a battery, screen and wires. We managed to spot lots of different examples (especially in the staff room) such as computers, a printer and a microwave.
Budding Georges Seurat artists!
We have learnt about Georges Seurat this week and how he painted his artwork using pointillism. We then practised this on our own lizard.
Cheerleading club
We are all so excited that we have not got a cheerleading club running at lunchtimes. We cannot wait to see your routines!
