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!
Fab writing in Y1!

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!
Sentence day
We have been fully immersed in our first sentence day when writing our introduction, so much so we didn’t want to go for dinner!
Hooking into our new book
To hook us into our new book we made a jigsaw from the front cover and made predictions about what might happen in the book.
We then practiced our cutting skills again and chopped some tomatoes, cucumber, pepper and onion to make some tasty gazpacho following a recipe from the back of the book.
