In our experience lesson we pretended to be the three little pigs and built two different houses – a stick one and a brick one. We then tried to see if we could blow them down like the wolf.

Three Little Pigs Experience Lesson
This week in writing we are thinking about the story of the Three Little Pigs and linking it to our science work on materials.
Today we experienced being the second and third pigs who built their houses out of sticks and bricks. It was definitely challenging but we showed determination and resilience!
Writing in MI
MI have started their new writing/grammar unit looking at extinct animals. Over the last few days we have been taking part in a series of diagnostic tasks that are allowing us to digest lots of grammar that will be needed when it comes to writing our own non-chronological report. Today we thought about adverbials of time, manner and place along with identifying main and subordinate clauses. We moved our sentences around changing the order of the main and subordinate clause. We have added our anchor charts to our working wall which we will use when we start to write.
Showing Resilience in Handwriting
Crew Godley have been determined to get their letter formation right! We have been practising so hard to form our letters correctly – we have so much remember! Our pencil grip, starting at the correct points and forming our letters within the correct lines. Our dough disco always helps warm up our fingers and today we can see a big improvement when forming our letters in a word rather than solitary.
We then played a game where we had to listen to our crew mates describing a letter by its formation, a letter ‘Guess Who’, we had to show we’d listened and formed the letter correctly to get a point. It was very tricky at times! Sharni-Mae loved tricking her crew mates!
Little red riding hood
Today we experienced being little red riding hood. We firstly made a basket to take to grandma’s house because she wasn’t feeling very well. We took her a bun. To get to grandma’s house we had to go through the woods. When we were in the woods we saw a wolf!! We ran to grandma’s house to make sure she was okay!
Experience Lesson – Little Red Riding Hood
We were so excited for our experience lesson today.
We began by making baskets to deliver our freshly baked cupcakes to grandmas house.
We then set off to walk through the woods towards grandmas house.
In the woods we spotted a scary looking wolf lurking in the trees!
Finally we made it to grandmas house but there was something different about her today!
How do you make a jam sandwich?
We enjoyed our first experience lesson today in Crew Marsh and learnt what order to make a jam sandwich. I cannot wait to see your beautiful writing this week!
Irregular Verbs
In grammar, we continued to explore irregular verbs and how these change in the past tense. These are words that children will need to learn so we verbally practiced using my turn your turn.
Subject/ verb
Today we applied all of our learning to a single clause sentence and unpicked what the verb of each sentence was and from that could decide the subject. I was so impressed with how well everyone could apply all of their knowledge.
Awesome Handwriting
Reuben was chosen today to receive a special magic pen for his effort and perseverance in his handwriting lessons. Great job Reuben!
