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 whenwhere, or how something happens. From ‘Later that evening’ to ‘He quickly dashed,’ we are trying to make our writing more exciting and descriptive.

Crew MI had a lovely time in out forest school . First we started with a bit of crew building which was loop de loop. The aim of the task was to pass the hoop round the circle without letting go of the persons hand next to you but to also not use your own hands to step through the hoop. After this some of the children explored the forest area by making dens, climbing tree or just having a walk round and the other made a twig letter. This was making the first letter of their name out of sticks and wool.

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!
