In Nursery, we are loving getting our body moving when doing the wiggle dance by DannyGo. We are practicing good listening and copying to make sure we are doing the moves properly!

Playing in the park
Today we played in the park to ask all of the birds – where is penguin from? We still did not find out the answer and will have to keep searching.
Independent write 🧊🦣✏️
This morning, we have had our experience lesson for our independent write. We sequenced the pictures of the video and then chotted some ideas and vocabulary we might use. We then completed our planning sheet with lots of year 3 features such as fronted adverbials, conjunctions and ambitious vocabulary.
Experience day – Fun at the park 🛝
We have started our new text today, Lost and Found. The boy unexpectedly found a penguin on his doorstep 🐧 They little boy was confused as to who it belonged to and in order to find out where he had come from they visited lots of places. His first stop was the park. He saw lots of noisy children and chirping birds who ignored the little boys plea for help.
Editing
This morning in writing, we have been spending time editing our learning from yesterday. We needed some time to ensure our writing was punctuated correctly and that we had wrote in chunks of sense. Before starting to edit our writing, we spent some time reading each others work and supporting each other with where we needed to make some corrections.
Writing -PP4
Yesterday, we continued with our Ice Age narrative writing. We watched the video to remind ourselves what we’d be writing about before chotting down some ideas. After this, we completed a shared write together. Then it was time for children to write independently.
Science Write up
In science, we have been continuing to look at the effects of global warming by conducting some experiments. Our experiment was looking at how temperature is effected based on the conditions. We placed one thermometer in a plastic container and one in a glass container before recording the results at regular intervals. We found that the glass container held the heat because it created a greenhouse effect and trapped the heat.

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.”
Chotting in writing
In writing, we worked together to chot some ideas before doing a shared write.
