To hook us into our new book we started with a feely bag to see what was in it and to help us to understand what a turnip is.

Independent Writing In Crew Hamill
Crew Hamill have worked extremely hard over the last few days to complete their independent write. We began with a recap of our grammar, ensuring we can still label the verb, subject and everything else in our sentences to ensure they are punctuated correctly. We then used a stimulus of a short film, Francis to create a descriptive piece of writing. We have chotted ideas together as a crew in order to complete a setting description of where Francis is as well as a character description of Francis herself. We have then used the resources available to us – word banks, chotting sheets and pictures – to write our descriptions.

Today we continued with our independent narrative linking to all our work on electricity.
Experimenting with Fronted Adverbials
This week we’ve been mastering the art of fronted adverbials. By adding words and phrases at the beginning of our sentences, we’ve learned how to describe when, where, or how something happens. From ‘Later that evening’ to ‘He quickly dashed,’ we are trying to make our writing more exciting and descriptive.
A new week, a new book!
To hook us into our new book we used our sense of touch. Mrs Robson allowed us to put our hand into the box and see what we could feel. This was our first clue to our new book. We came up with lots of adjectives to describe what we felt.
Next we completed a jigsaw of the front cover to reveal the name of the new book. We used our prediction skills and made links to books we already knew such as Little Red Riding Hood.
Finally we had another guess about what might be in the mystery box. We opened it up to reveal a turnip. Aimee in the kitchen had kindly cooked some for us to try too!

Practicing speaking on the spot!
Today, we had just two minutes to rehearse a line from our speeches before delivering them to the class! It was a fun and exciting challenge, pushing us to think quickly and speak confidently. Even with little time to prepare, everyone did an amazing job sharing our ideas. It was a great way to practice speaking on the spot!

Would you try Zombie cuisine?
After reading our story ‘Zombies don’t eat veggies’, in writing today a few of us in Crew Marsh spoke about what type of foods would be changed to fit the cuisine of a Zombie. We got so engrossed and came up with lots of great ideas including brain pizza, knees on toast and gut bolognaise! We then put all of our ideas on a slide and presented these ideas in our small group. We are working on orally recalling sentences and the children showcased this amazingly today, by linking their ideas to the story and using the characters names. What a gruesome experience!
