Crew Robson have blown me away with their HoWLs during writing this week. They have been so focussed and determined to show off the amazing writing skills.
Wonderful Writing

Crew Ramsay Acting Out!
Today, we acted out the story Little Red Riding Hood. We worked in groups to decide rolls, rehearse the story map and interact in character. We had so much fun and cannot wait to get writing the story next…
Tracing map
We have been working very hard in crew Frost this week! The students have been learning how to complete a new welcome task. Using clear A4 wallets we have placed a document with various dashes and dots, creating shapes and patterns named after a tracing mat. The tracing mat is a foundational skill the children will master to begin forming marks for their names! It is also a great tool for helping our crew practice our listening and attention skills.
PVPG
Today was our final PVPG lesson and I was extremely impressed by how much the children have learnt and remembered from Year 2. It can’t wait to see what we can achieve together in writing this year!
Squiggle While You Wiggle!
This week crew Frost have been introduced to the early writing programme Squiggle While You Wiggle, this programme offers the first steps to build their fine and gross motor movements. The programme also encourages mark making with meaning whilst incorporating dance, uses of materials, and just lots of fun! We can not wait to see what fine motor skills will develop over the next few weeks.
Final product celebrations in MT
Today we shared our final product with each other. We all shared our paragraph of writing in mini crews along with our art work. We are all so proud of what we have achieved!
Story Map
This week the children have been creating story maps about the gingerbread man, from this they have created their own versions how the gingerbread man crossed the river “he could use a surf board” and “he could use a jet pack”. We turned these ideas into drawings and sentences remembering our capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops.
Writing in MT
We are currently writing two independent plot points to apply what we have been taught. We are doing a great job 🙂
Handwriting practise in MT
MT busy working on their letter formation 🙂
Phonics.
This week the children have been practicing their blending and letter formation. The children loved the different textures and forming letters with different mediums.
